daft
Not thinking straight
Daft means silly, foolish, or not thinking clearly.
The word is more common in British than American English: Don't be daft—of course I'll help.
Someone who is daft about something is infatuated with it.
A daft idea lacks sense or practicality.
The word is mild, often affectionate rather than harsh.
