Merry; gay; lively; full of life and mirth; jovial. It expresses more life and noise than cheerful; as a jolly troop of huntsmen.

Expressing mirth or inspiring it. And with his jolly pipe delights the groves. The coachman is swelled into jolly dimensions by frequent potations of malt liquors.

Exciting mirth and gayety; as jolly May.

Like one in high health; pretty: .
