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.
