Go batshit means to lose control emotionally—to become wildly angry, irrational, or unhinged: She went batshit when she found out he'd been lying.

The phrase can also describe becoming intensely enthusiastic: The crowd went batshit when the band came onstage.

Often intensified to go batshit crazy.
