cray cray
Out of control
Cray cray is a playful, emphatic reduplication of crazy, used to describe something wildly irrational or out of control: That party last night was cray cray.
The term emerged from hip-hop and internet culture in the early 2010s, often deployed with ironic exaggeration.
It sounds deliberately silly and is typically lighthearted rather than clinical.
