Usage

The term "meshugah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe someone who is perceived as mad or acting irrationally. It often conveys a sense of being out of one's mind or behaving in a way that defies social norms or expectations. The word can be used both literally, to describe mental instability, and metaphorically, to describe actions that seem foolish or incomprehensible.
