unhinged
Wildly chaotic, over the top or out of control. Online it is often praise for something funny and bold, not a comment on anyone's mental health.
Your mom's voice memo to the group chat is so unhinged, I love her.
For parents and educators
Harmless in most uses. If it's aimed at one person over and over, it can turn into a way of calling them crazy.
Where it came from
An old word for mentally unstable. Social media turned it into a mostly playful word for chaotic energy.
