go bonkers
Completely lose composure
Go bonkers is to lose one's composure or sanity, either literally or through extreme excitement or anger.
Someone might go bonkers waiting in a long line, or go bonkers over a new puppy.
The phrase suggests a dramatic, often comic loss of control rather than genuine mental breakdown.
