nuttery
Place for crazies
Nuttery is an informal, often dismissive term for a place, group, or situation characterized by irrational behavior, eccentric people, or absurd ideas.
It carries connotations of a madhouse or asylum, suggesting that those involved are crazy or foolish: The whole office turned into a nuttery after the merger announcement.
The word can also refer literally to a place where nuts are grown or stored, though this sense is far less common than the figurative one.
