Odd thoughts upon awakening

[classicdrogn]

I wonder which came first, "giddy-up" as the command for a horse to run, or "giddy" as the word for feeling excited and energetic?

[robkelk]

Now you've got me curious...

Merriam-Webster says that "giddy" came first (14th century), and that "giddyap" (c.1897) derives from "get up"... so, yeah, it's an appropriate thought to awaken to.
