"Cloud Nine"

"Cloud Nine" is an idiomatic expression meaning a state of extreme happiness or bliss. It suggests feeling as if one is floating on cloud nine—an elevated, euphoric mood often associated with joy, triumph, or satisfaction. The phrase originated in the early 20th century and has been used widely to describe moments of intense positive emotion, such as achieving a goal or experiencing love. It does not refer to an actual cloud but symbolizes a heightened, almost surreal sense of well-being.
