Mad: meanings in British and American English

What do you remember about this?

Show explanation

No. Mad can mean angry, very enthusiastic, foolish, or wild, depending on the context. It can also appear in an older sense connected with mental illness, but use specific, respectful language such as mental health condition when that is what you mean.

Maya is mad about cycling, but she was mad at the airline for losing her bag.
