How it's used
Focuses on the perception of erratic or irrational behavior rather than a clinical diagnosis. It carries a strong sense of dismissal or annoyance, often used to warn others to stay away from someone acting unpredictably. While it is a common label for someone behaving strangely, it is inherently derogatory and can be offensive if used to describe someone with actual mental health issues.

Common mistake
Avoid using this term to describe someone who is simply eccentric or quirky, as it implies a level of aggression or complete loss of reason. It is strictly informal and should never be used in professional or polite social settings.
