When you’re cock-a-hoop about something, you are extremely pleased about what you have done.
Example: Ameya was cock-a-hoop about coming first in class. * The two brothers were cock-a-hoop about getting a job in a really good company.
The expression is considered old fashioned, and is mostly used in informal contexts.
