Synonyms Jolly, Jovial, Mirthful, Merry, Facetious, playful, funny, sprightly, frolicsome, sportive. Facetious is distinguished from the first four words in applying to the making of witticisms rather than to the continuous flow of contagious good humor easily breaking into laughter. If there is any difference between jolly and jovial, it is that the latter is rather the more dignified of the two. Mirthful and merry imply most of laughter, and jolly stands next in this respect. There is little difference between mirthful and merry, but the former may be the more dignified and the latter the more demonstrative. Merry expresses the largest and freest overflow of animal spirits. See hilarity and mirth.
Slightly exhilarated by drink.
Fine; pretty; great; big:used vaguely, often ironically: as, that's a jolly way of doing things; what a jolly fool he looked! a jolly shame.
