<< review queue entry 31383 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> Extracts from http://www.answers.com/topic/wacky: [Variant of whacky, probably from the phrase "out of whack". ] ... furshlugginer (Yiddish word for "wacky") ... Français (French) adj. - farfelu ... 中文 [繁體] adj. - 古怪的, 瘋瘋癲癲的, 乖僻的 Other sources give a different origin: C19: from whack (hence, a whacky, a person who behaves as if he had been whacked on the head) [World English Dictionary] "crazy, eccentric," 1935, variant of whacky (n.) "fool," late 1800s British slang, probably ultimately from whack "a blow, stroke," from the notion of being whacked on the head one too many times. [Online Etymology Dictionary] |
