As a high-functioning madman, I fully approve of judicious use of "crazy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bd2B6SjMh_w)," "insane (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGrOqhQvDC4)" and even "nuts (http://youtu.be/tL2pG4BqyOU)."

"Nuts" is nice. I like how it sounds. I wonder where it comes from, though.

(Anonymous) 2012-02-21 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
It's probably a shortening of nutcase.

[identity profile] lovelycudy.livejournal.com 2012-02-21 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
And nutcase? Because to me it sounds like a bag filled with nuts.

(Anonymous) 2012-02-22 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
I giggled, I admit it.

Don't quote me, but I think it comes from the expression "nutty as a fruitcake". Nutty has been used as a synonym for insane since the mid 1800s (or thereabouts) and I guess that over time different expressions surrounding that have sprung up. Hence terms like nutter, nuthead, nutjob, etc.

Nut is slang for head. As in numbnut, use your nut, etc.

[identity profile] lovelycudy.livejournal.com 2012-02-22 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Didn't know that, thank you. English is not my first language, so this stuff flies over my head.

[identity profile] deadtree.livejournal.com 2012-02-22 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
I once called my brother "numbnut" and he flipped his shit at me for being so vulgar~ and offensive~ xD He was thinking about his OTHER nuts in that case, and I was too amused to correct him.

[identity profile] kelincihutan.livejournal.com 2012-02-22 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
To be honest, I always thought "numbnuts" referred to the other nuts as well. ...Though that could be because my brother is in the army and when he and his cronies use it, it does. :D

NO SIR, I WORE MY CUP! :)

[identity profile] starphotographs.livejournal.com 2012-02-22 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
See, that's the meaning I'm used to. I didn't even think of it referring to one's head at all. Funny the difference one little "S" can make, eh?

[identity profile] strangetwn-god.livejournal.com 2012-02-22 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
Then you might like the weirdest adaptation of St. James Infirmary (http://youtu.be/fq3QySTQlmI) (Koko Taylor and Willie Dixon).

I'm finding that song to be creepy as hell.

Awesome.

[identity profile] dinerstate.livejournal.com 2012-02-22 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
Oh my god this is so cool.

[identity profile] starphotographs.livejournal.com 2012-02-22 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
Oh god, "nuts" is just so much fun to say, isn't it. XD

[identity profile] starphotographs.livejournal.com 2012-02-22 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
...Is it okay if I really, really approve of the term "high-functioning madman?" XD

[identity profile] nyxelestia.livejournal.com 2012-02-22 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I prefer the term "lunatic passing as boring" myself but maybe that's just me...:P

Or, yes, yes it is. :D
