Crazy, nutty, absent-minded
meshuga \meh-SHU-geh\ (adjective) - (Affectionate) Crazy, nutty, absent-minded.
"You can't parachute from the roof with an umbrella! Where did you get a meshuga idea like that?!"
Yiddish "meshuge" from Hebrew mesuggah "maddened, crazed" participle of suggah "to be mad, crazy." The noun is meshugaas "craziness" and a crazy girl is a "meshuggeneh" while a crazy boy is a "meshuggener." Be careful not to call your boyfriend "a crazy meshuggeneh" because you make two mistakes when you do: (1) a meshuggeneh is a girl and (2) the word already says he's crazy. Of course, if you come from one of the many regions where the final [r] is not pronounced, the same word applies both ways. Today's word is also spelled "meshugga" or "meshugge."
