Math without paper

Mentals is informal, often jocular plural for mental patients or people perceived as mentally unstable: The mentals are running the asylum.

In British slang, it can describe wild or crazy behavior: They were doing absolute mentals in the stands.

The term is casual and potentially offensive when applied to actual psychiatric conditions.
