زمینه فرهنگی

In Spain, this is one of the most common idioms. It reflects a culture that values humor and doesn't mind a bit of 'locura' (craziness) in social settings. While understood in Mexico, you might also hear 'estar loco de remate' or 'estar zafado.' 'Estar como una cabra' sounds slightly more European Spanish to Mexican ears. In Argentina, 'estar del tomate' or 'estar chapita' are common local equivalents for being crazy.
