I just watched Game of Thrones
and we need to talk about this word
crazy because sometimes it's not enough
[Music]
okay so we have the common adjectives
crazy we also have mad if you've seen
Game of Thrones you'll be familiar with
this word mad it means the same as crazy
but here are some other adjectives you
could use to describe a crazy person
what the hell so we can also say nuts
bonkers
mental insane these ones are quick words
you can use to say this person did
something so ridiculous that this is the
only thing you can say to them
pronunciation nuts these two are very
British bonkers mental you are bonkers
you're absolutely bonkers repeat after
me
you're absolutely bonkers you're mental
notice the L in mental because it's more
British sounding will make that L into
an L mental mental you are mental and of
course insane you're insane these two
are also adjectives but more commonly we
use them to describe a situation more
than a person you you can use them to
describe a person but it would be more
about their behavior your behavior is
ridiculous
the way you're acting is ludicrous these
are just extreme adjectives very very
crazy also these are common when you
respond out of surprise it's really
common to do that actually so for
example oh my god I got fired from my
job today
no that's ridiculous that kind of thing
it's very common to hear that way of
speaking
okay okay we also have really fun
expressions with this so here are fun
expressions you can use to be out of
one's mind or to be off of one's rocker
so when we say ones thing you change the
pronoun there for example if it's a
blonde dragon writing female you might
say the female pronoun her the full
sentence she a version of be whether
it's present or past in this case we'll
use present she is out of her mind
you can modify this with the word damn
and this sounds really strong for
example she is out of her damn mind
if you watch this series suits they say
this every episode you're out of your
mind every episode trust me again this
one let's use the male pronoun so he
again present is off of his rocker he's
off his rocker often in pronunciation
you might notice that of we can just
leave it so it sounds like this he's off
his rocker so we just say he's off his
rocker he's off his rocker
and we have a few of these types of
expressions to imply the person's brain
is not complete so there may be
aggressive or violent right so we could
say to be a sandwich short of a picnic
full sentence I met this guy yesterday
and he let's use past tense I met this
guy yesterday and he was a sandwich
short of a picnic he tried to steal my
phone or be not playing with a full deck
so we use a negative here let's use
I met this crazy girl yesterday she she
wasn't playing with a full deck did you
see that last episode of Game of Thrones
I don't think she's playing with a full
deck and finally not all of one's dogs
are barking again we changed that
pronoun right so here's that Trump idiot
he says some crazy things I think not
all his dogs are barking again you might
notice that that of drops not all his
dogs are barking
that's that's more how you'd say it not
all his dogs are barking
okay so practice those let me know in
the comments these similar to something
in your language tell me how they
translate to English from your language
also like I said we need to talk so let
me know what you thought about that last
episode of Game of Thrones or if you're
watching this in the future final season
