bananas
Potassium-rich fruit
Bananas functions as a slang adjective meaning crazy, wild, or intensely enthusiastic: The crowd went bananas when she walked onstage.
The word suggests excitement or absurdity rather than genuine mental instability.
It likely derives from the earlier expression go ape, with bananas adding comic reinforcement. (Lowercase banana is the fruit.)
