I still use and still hear "stoked" whenever I go home. I'm from the

Cocoa Beach area (Central Florida). To me, "stoked" means extremely

happy or "fired up". "Dude, I was so stoked last night--the waves were

totally awesome!"



I always associated it with "coked," which came into use during the

'80's.
