as a child, many years ago, I heard the phrase "raring to go" from my grandmother many times.

mythreeqtz, My guess is this word's origin came about from the days of horseback transportation, as in when a horse is literally "raring up", and ready to go!

MoodyChef92025, Me too, I got it wrong, though, I am remembering Gunsmoke and Festus tell Marshall, I am “raring” to go after those vile filthy varmints; or something to that affect.

Trucker91203, No, that would be "rearing up" (on its hind legs)

It would make me feel too smart if I use the word raring and have to explain what it means. I’m sure not too many knows this word. Lol

ConsequentDessert10, Sorry, "raring" doesn't go with the word "mad". Try "roaring mad" maybe.
