The Hebrew Word "meh-shu-GAH" means mentally confused or deranged.

It's been borrowed directly into Yiddish as the adjective "meh-SHOO-geh",

used to imply any one of a broad range of mental abberations ... including

those like "This homework is making me meshugah.", and "I'd be meshugah

to fall for a scam like that.".

The noun "meh-shoo-GASS" is the obsession, insanity, crazy ideas, strange

beliefs, or odd philosophy of someone else, which you would have to be

meshugah to agree with or yield to.
