funny farm
Psychiatric care facility
A funny farm is a psychiatric hospital or mental institution.
The term is informal and mildly derisive, treating mental illness as entertainment: They'll cart you off to the funny farm if you keep talking like that.
The expression sounds dated, from an era when mental health was more stigmatized and less understood.
