Recently I've been reading a children's book called Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.
When the page turns to the page showed as below👇, I feel puzzled about the adjective "looped".
In this book the lowercase letters are described as kids. When these kids all climbed on the coconut tree, the tree couldn't afford them all and fell. Then all the letters(kids) fell out of the tree and got hurt. Then the letter "m is looped".
I've checked it in online dictionary and it shows that "looped" is originated from the noun "loop" and it seems to have a connection with the aerobatic loop.
And then I heard a song called "I'm looped". And the verse "Yes I'm looped, high as a Georgia pine" is kept repeated in the song. I've checked the meaning of it online and knew that it means "I'm drunk".
So, here is my question:
Does "looped" mean the feeling of being drunk? like getting a bit dizzy and lightheaded? Thus letter m is dizzy in this book after fell from the tree?
Or it just mean the letter m is squashed like two loops that aircrafts make (es. loop the loop) ?
Thanks!

No. It's a mistake by the writers. I'm sure that's what they want it mean, but it doesn't. They put a drunken letter in a children's book in ignorance and enshrined a bad definition. And anyway, "m" does not have loops. It has humps. The more you read, the more idiotic mistakes you will encounter in published material.
Sorry about that. Someone suggests to separate the question because I've asked two questions in one thread, so I've mistaken that I should have made a new post. sorry to disturb.
I am glad for the new post, because you did not provide enough context in the first one, and I would never had seen your addition to it. Don't worry. It's no big deal.
