Insane

/ɪnˈseɪn/adjective
ELI5 mode

Insane originally describes a state of severe mental illness or derangement, where someone is not of sound mind and unable to think rationally. In today's casual language, it's often used hyperbolically to mean something wildly extreme, absurd, or exhilarating, like an insane stunt in a movie or an insane sale price that defies logic.
