Comment: "Наталья, спасибо! В точку! Нужно было передать, что не просто непоседливость или много суматошных движений, и уж тем более не нервный (всё-таки "гиперактивный" имеет отрицательный оттенок, скорее диагноз невропатолога), что раздражает, а лучистая неутомимость, "брызги солнечной энергией", что делает окружающих счастливыми. Спасибо!"

ANTS IN HIS PANTS - "Excessively restless or eager. Hugh S. Johnson, the colorful former Army general who headed the National Recovery Administration in 1933-34, may have originated this phrase but certainly made it popular. 'Full of beans' and 'full of red ants' convey the same idea." From "Dictionary of Cliches" by James Rogers (Wings Books, Originally New York: Facts on File Publications, 1985).

Note from asker:
| Ничего общего с "сексуальным возбуждением" эта фраза не имеет? Правильно поймут? |
| Подскажите, пожалуйста, а как мне спросить Элизабет (наверху заметка), что именно смущает в контексте. |

: You have the right idea, except that "ants-in-pants" doesn't sound right. Try "antsy."
