crazy
Not quite right
Crazy describes a state of mental instability or wildness.
Someone acting erratically might be called crazy, though using it for actual mental illness is now considered insensitive.
More often, crazy expresses intensity or extremeness: crazy in love, crazy busy, That's crazy expensive.
Something crazy can be absurd, implausible, or just surprising: You won't believe the crazy thing that happened.
To drive someone crazy is to frustrate or obsess them.
Like crazy means with great intensity: We worked like crazy to finish on time.
