What does NUTSO mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informalslang
Crazy, wildly irrational, or out of control; used informally of a person, a plan, or a situation.
Nutso is a playful, exaggerated way of calling someone or something crazy, building on the older slang word nuts used in the same sense. It is used casually and rarely appears in formal writing, most often to describe a person acting erratically or a scheme that seems reckless. The added -o ending, also seen in words like weirdo, gives nutso a blunt, joking tone rather than a clinical one. It carries no real medical meaning and is not used to describe an actual mental illness.
