[Ads-l] New to me "detonating" - acting excited

[Andy Bach]

>From Quora:
 "Awkwardly enough, we  [author and, unknownst to them, Brad Pitt] were
headed the same direction, got tied up by security, and walked up on some
women self detonating. ...
I live in L.A. Maybe it's a big deal if you don't live where "famous folk"
live, but I don't get the hype. If Mr. Pitt opened his wallet and handed me
$1000 risk-free, maybe I would detonate."
