bughouse
Slang for crazy
Bughouse is informal slang for a psychiatric hospital or insane asylum: They hauled him off to the bughouse.
As an adjective, it means crazy or insane: The heat is driving me bughouse.
The word sounds dated, evoking mid-twentieth-century American speech.
Bughouse is also a fast-paced chess variant where captured pieces transfer to a partner's board.
