buggin
Losing your cool
Buggin is slang for acting crazy, being irrational, or freaking out—often used to dismiss someone's behavior or perspective: You're buggin if you think I'm paying that much.
It can also mean being high or tripping.
The word comes from bug out, suggesting erratic or paranoid behavior.
Common in hip-hop and urban speech since the 1980s.
