AEE 2524: How Crazy Adds Color to Your English

In this episode of the All Ears English podcast, Aubrey and Lindsay explore the various ways the word "crazy" is used in English as an adjective. They discuss six different meanings, ranging from its original sense related to mental health (though now less common) to its more modern uses as a descriptor for wild behavior, something extremely good, excessive situations, foolish ideas, and as a general intensifier. They emphasize the importance of intonation when using "crazy" to convey the intended meaning and highlight its role in connecting with others through vivid and expressive language. The hosts also share examples and a roleplay to illustrate these different usages, encouraging listeners to use the word in informal settings to add color to their conversations and connect more effectively.
