I believe the proper spelling is "heady", as many Wall Street Journal columnists (I\'m a subscriber) frequently use the word to describe the "heady" gains of the late 90\'s bull market.

I love it when sportscasters say "that was a heady play".....

if they would just end it with a "brah" I would pee my pants.

yah heady is not a new slang post-gd-era term. it is actually proper english and used in literature!
