battier

Further from sanity

Battier is the comparative form of batty, meaning more crazy or eccentric: She gets battier every year.

The word suggests harmless oddness rather than serious mental illness—the dotty aunt, the neighbor with strange theories.

Each generation thinks the next one is battier than the last.
