What does MAD mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Mentally ill, or extremely foolish.
Mad divides by country: in America it means angry first and in Britain it means insane first, which causes real confusion in both directions. The medical sense is now avoided everywhere, so what is left is the foolish one and the angry one.
