How it's used
This expression describes someone behaving in an unrestrained, chaotic, or nonsensical way, often in a social setting. It carries a sense of playful or annoying lack of self control, rather than indicating a clinical mental health condition. People often use it to describe groups of friends who are letting loose and acting silly together.
Examples
They are all acting crazy and uninhibited, making so much noise.
Why are you acting so wild and crazy? You're like a little kid.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe someone with an actual mental health issue, as it is strictly used for behavioral conduct and can be offensive if applied to someone's genuine condition.
