Freaks
Goes completely wild
Freaks are people or things that deviate markedly from the norm—whether through unusual physical characteristics, obsessive interests, or strange behavior.
A circus freak had visible abnormalities; a control freak needs to manage everything; a health freak is obsessively devoted to wellness.
The verb means to panic or lose composure: I freaked out when I saw the bill.
To freak someone out is to disturb or unsettle them.
Among enthusiasts, freak signals intense devotion: jazz freak, fitness freak.
