"Loony" is short for "lunatic", meaning crazy person. So if you called someone a loony, it would mean that you think they're crazy or strange.

The saying "you're a loonie" is a slang term used to indicate that someone is crazy or eccentric. It derives from the Canadian one-dollar coin, which is colloquially referred to as a "loonie" because it features a loon (a type of bird) on one side. So, calling someone a loonie is suggesting that they are as unpredictable or strange as the bird depicted on the coin.
