There are a lot of English idioms and other words and
expressions that can be used (often humorously, but not politely) to describe someone who is mad or insane, or who behaves in a mad way. Here are a few:
...barmy; bonkers;
...off his / her rocker;
...out of his / her tree;
...dotty; potty; batty;
...out to lunch;
...round the bend;
...stark staring bonkers;
...stark raving mad;
a nutcase; a nutter;
a basket case; a fruitcake; as nutty as a fruitcake;
as mad as a hatter; as mad as a March hare; as mad as a box of frogs;
a loony; a crackpot;
he's / she's lost his /her marbles; he's / she's got toys in the attic; gaga; doolally (these last four areoften used to describe old people who are going senile)
Be very careful how and when you use these words and expressions: they are not considered acceptable in many situations, and some people might be offended by them.
