    The word is a little formal; friends more often say “she was so enthusiastic” or “he really went on about how good it was.” It is not a rude word, but it can carry a small smile: the speaker notices that the feeling is being shown in a very big way, sometimes more than the moment needs. Use it for warm, happy feeling, not for anger.
