I've been trying to get better at not using the words insane or crazy in conversation. For a while, I tried out "bananas" as a replacement, as suggested by @mel_cantrell. But the more I tried it out; I felt like it came off as a code word for crazy.
At !!con last week, it was suggested I try out three new replacement words:
- wild
- absurd
- Kafkaesque
So I'm going to give that a try to be more sensitive towards the mental-health community.
Cheers,

UPDATE: "weird" and "ridiculous" were also suggested as other good words. Also, fixed a typo.
