bonkers

Definition

British-flavored slang for crazy, wild, or completely unhinged behavior that's somehow more charming than its American equivalents. It's what you say when 'nuts' feels too harsh and 'silly' doesn't quite capture the chaos.

Example Usage

The stock market went absolutely bonkers today, swinging 500 points in either direction like a caffeinated pendulum.
