What does MADMAN mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A man who behaves in a wild, reckless or frenzied way, or, in older usage, a man judged to be insane.
Today madman is mostly figurative. It describes someone acting with reckless energy, as in the phrase to work like a madman, or someone whose ideas seem dangerously extreme. The older meaning of a mentally ill man is now considered outdated and offensive in a medical context. The plural madmen is irregular only in the sense that it follows man.
