뜻
Someone is acting crazy or very angry.
문화적 배경
Hungarians have a high tolerance for 'passionate' complaining, but this phrase marks the limit where complaining becomes 'crazy'. In the capital, this is often used sarcastically to describe the 'eccentric' characters found on public transport (the 4-6 tram). Using this about a superior is common behind their back, but saying it to their face is a 'fireable offense'. Journalists often use this in opinion pieces to describe radical or nonsensical political moves.
Use with 'teljesen'
Adding 'teljesen' (completely) makes it sound much more natural and native-like.
Watch your tone
If you say this too seriously, it sounds like a genuine insult. Say it with a slight smile or a sigh to keep it idiomatic.
