What is a "doorstep"?

A doorstep is a flat or slightly raised area located at the entrance of a door, often made of materials such as wood, stone, or concrete. This feature provides a transition between the exterior and interior of a building, allowing people to step into or out of a space safely. Doorsteps can also help keep water from entering the building, acting as a barrier against rain or snow. They may be designed for aesthetic purposes, enhancing the entrance's appearance while offering a practical function. Additionally, doorsteps can serve as a convenient place to place items while entering or exiting.

Idiom
Informal

in a state of extreme excitement or confusion

What is the origin of the idiom "head over heels" and when to use it?

The idiom "head over heels" originated in the late 18th century and has its roots in the earlier phrase "heels over head." The idiom means to be in a state of extreme excitement, confusion, or intense emotion. It is now used figuratively to describe a person experiencing a complete overturning or turning upside down, as if their head is positioned below their heels. Over time, the phrase shifted to "head over heels" to convey a sense of being completely absorbed or immersed in a particular state or situation.

What is "mania"?

Mania is a mental state characterized by an intense and extended period of heightened mood, energy, and activity levels. During a manic episode, individuals may feel extremely excited or excessively happy. They may also experience increased confidence, talkativeness, racing thoughts, and a lessened need for sleep. Mania can lead to impulsive or risky behaviors, such as excessive spending, reckless driving, or engaging in sexual activity. In serious cases, mania can harm judgment and interfere with daily functioning. Mania is often a symptom of bipolar disorder, but it can also occur in other mental health conditions. Treatment typically involves medication and therapy to control mood and manage symptoms.
