mishegaas
Ridiculous chaotic foolishness
Mishegaas is Yiddish for craziness, nonsense, or absurd behavior—the kind of irrational goings-on that make you throw up your hands.
It can describe mental instability, but more often refers to foolish situations or pointless commotion: I can't deal with all this mishegaas right now.
Also spelled *meshugaas* or *mishegoss*.
