- 1（口語，有時冒犯）瘋子、瘋狂的人；舊時醫學用語（現已淘汰、具冒犯性）。
An informal, and sometimes rude, word for someone acting in a crazy or very foolish way - "he drives like a lunatic." Historically, "lunatic" was an old, now outdated and offensive, medical term for someone with a serious mental illness. Today it's mostly used casually and dramatically, not as a medical term, but it can still sound harsh, so it's best used carefully.
