Finally! Our society is becoming less politically correct.

Our Pm has called a group of people nutjobs. In public!

Way to go PM!

i appreciate her honesty 🙂

Ring !Ring !Ring !Ring !

Time to wake up LL 🙂

[lakeland27]

nutjob is not an illness , its a reference to bizarre points of view, not MI.

[poddster]

I beg to differ yet again LL 🙂

Noun: nutjob

A person who is regarded as eccentric or mad

[lakeland27]

 A person who is regarded as eccentric or mad.

'Mad' is not an illness i can find listed. eccentric is not MI. the inference isn't there.. it means ''eccentric in an annoying way''

[azureline**]

She didn't call anyone a nutjob did she?

As I heard it, she said there are nutjobs.........

[lakeland27]

she didn't call any one person anything, its from a speech referring to the Larry picklerings of this world . its an accurate description, she forgot con- man so it wasn't identifying him in particular.

[poddster]

I beg to differ LL

mad 

/mad/Adjective

Mentally ill; insane:  "he felt as if he were going mad".(of a person, conduct, or an idea) Extremely foolish or ill-advised:  "he had some mad idea".

Synonymscrazy - insane - lunatic - demented - wild - rabid

[poddster]

how are you going to attempt tp gild that lily

[lakeland27]

 there is no clinical illness listed. its also sounding more accurate by the minute.

[lakeland27]

so it can mean eccentric or mad, she meant 'eccentric' . it has a dual usage from the definition you posted.
