Horned up is a direct, informal slang phrase meaning sexually aroused or horny. It's a slightly more forceful version of simply saying 'horny', suggesting someone is noticeably worked up or in a heightened state of arousal. The phrase is casual, blunt, and widely understood across North American and internet English. It shows up in everyday conversation, social media, comedy, and any context where someone wants to describe obvious sexual interest without reaching for clinical language.
After three months away for work, he came home absolutely horned up and they didn't leave the apartment for a whole weekend.
