went nuts
Totally flipped out
Went nuts means became crazy, irrational, or wildly excited.
Someone who went nuts might have lost their temper, acted erratically, or reacted with extreme enthusiasm: The crowd went nuts when the band took the stage, My mom went nuts when she saw the mess.
The phrase can describe genuine mental breakdown or, more commonly, intense emotional response.
