How did the book 'One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest' get its name?

It comes from a nursery rhyme, which the protagonist remembers playing with his grandmother:Wire, briar, linber-lock,Three geese in a flock.One flew east, one flew west,And one flew over the cuckoo's nest.In this case, cuckoo is also a pejorative term for someone who's crazy or clinically insane. So a cuckoo's nest would be a sanitarium or asylum, where a 'flock' of cuckoos could be found.Flying over such a nest would be a metaphor for both overseeing the action, and escaping it.For more info, click the link below, and scroll down to Section II.B: The Meaning of the Title.
