About This Quote

A whizzpopper" is a term used to describe a person who is so cheerful and happy that they blow bubbles. This person is so happy that they can't even help but let out little "whooshes" as they talk and move about. They are very happy and joyful, as such it would be very hard to make them sad. Some people believe that "whizzpopping" is a reference to the way the wind blows, making these gentle "whooshes".

Others believe it originated from an old-fashioned game played with toy trains by children, similar to the game of tag. A whizzpopper is someone who looks content with their life, who never seems to have any worries, and generally seems lucky.
