daisy pusher

Too happy all the time and care free. Optimistic. A modern day hippie (minus the drugs)

Wow, she's a real daisy pusher optimist, with that attitude you can wake up on any side of the bed you want.

Daisy pusher upper

He or she who is pushing up the daisies. Should preferably be used with ´soon-to-be´or ´future´in front of it. Like: you soon-to-be corpse, in other words "you who are about to die"

Do you see that horizontally challenged lady with the microphone, you future daisy pusher upper you? It´s bye bye time. Bang!!!

(The Concise New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English)

push up the daisies; pushing up the daisies to be dead, especially dead and buried; use is occasionally extended to the dying. An image first sketched as dated ‘turn up your toes to the daisies’ in 1842 – from which we derive turn up your toes, (to die). Other variations that have slipped from use: ‘under the daisies’, ‘kick up daisies’ and, less certainly, ‘grin at the daisy-roots’, which may also relate to ‘roots’ (boots) UK, 1918.

Wikipedia: Henry "Henny" Youngman (original Yiddish surname Yungman; 16 March 1906 – 24 February 1998) was a British-born American comedian and violinist famous for his mastery of the "one-liner". His best known one-liner was "Take my wife...please".

In a time when many comedians told elaborate anecdotes, Youngman's routine consisted of telling simple one-liner jokes, occasionally with interludes of violin playing. These depicted simple, cartoon-like situations, eliminating lengthy build-ups and going straight to the punch line. He was known as "The King of the One Liners", a title conferred to him by columnist Walter Winchell. A stage performance by Youngman lasted only fifteen to twenty minutes but contained dozens of jokes in rapid-fire succession.
