went bonkers
Completely lost sanity
Went bonkers means lost one's mind or became wildly irrational.
The phrase describes sudden mental breakdown or extreme emotional reaction: She went bonkers when she found out they'd eloped.
It can also mean became wildly enthusiastic: The crowd went bonkers after the winning goal.
Less severe than truly crazy—more theatrical exasperation than clinical diagnosis.
