Ok, so there are common term used through out the country and through out certain groups.
I had never heard of "Bat Shit Crazy" till I joined here, still don't know what kind of origins it might have (like being around bats makes you crazy?)

BUT when ever anyone talked about their BM, a lot called her BAT SHIT CRAZY.

I picked up on the term, started using it at home to describe BM, and we are going through a lot with her right now, some of you might recall from prior posts. Details soon to follow, not saying anything just as of yet till we have a judgement.

WELL, DH just emailed me, I asked how his day was and he replied :
"BAT SHIT CRAZY"
LMAO
Thank you to all of you who have supported and taught me whats acceptable and whats not, when to take a stand and for your support!

batshit crazy:
A person who is batshit crazy is certifiably nuts. The phrase has origins in the old fashioned term "bats in the belfry." Old churches had a structure at the top called a belfry, which housed the bells. Bats are extremely sensitive to sound and would never inhabit a belfry of an active church where the bell was rung frequently. Occasionally, when a church was abandoned and many years passed without the bell being rung, bats would eventually come and inhabit the belfry. So, when somebody said that an individual had "bats in the belfry" it meant that there was "nothing going on upstairs" (as in that person's brain). To be BATSHIT CRAZY is to take this even a step further. A person who is batshit crazy is so nuts that not only is their belfry full of bats, but so many bats have been there for so long that the belfry is coated in batshit. Hence, the craziest of crazy people are BATSHIT CRAZY.
