Last month, in my effort to enrich our national vocabulary, I reported on T's use of the word jimmy-jangled. Fittingly, this month's vocabulary lesson is a word that has been jimmy-jangled together: coo-coo le crazy. Plenty of folks have behavior that is a little odd. Those folks may be coo-coo or they may be crazy. But when behavior or words go over-the-top nuts, then let's face it: we need a better description for what's just occurred. Behold coo-coo le crazy. When you sound or act insane but you don't know it, then you're coo-coo le crazy. To hear T explain it, coo-coo le crazy is a 15 on the 10 point scale of nuts.
We've all been a little nuts on occasion. And then we've come back across to the sanity side of the table. We recover. But there is no recovery from coo-coo le crazy. And yes, I'm looking at you, Rick Santorum.
