Marketing - Slang
English term or phrase: fired up
Subtitling for a video. From a marketing speech about the word commitment.

"Now here's commitment for most people:
boy, when I'm pumped up,
when I'm fired up,
get out of my way,
boy, I'm a winner.
I always watch out for those people.
That's an emotion that's fleeting."

agree  Ingeborg Gowans (X): o.k. I put this for "pumped up " I guess these two terms are so close, it is hard to make a distinction, but you are right
