    I always thought that was just another term for "crazy."

    I can't believe you need a definition for something a 1st grader can explain.

    Some people call me 'Screw Loose Bruce'. I can't imagine why.

    Sincerely and truly and really? Is your name Bruce? Thank you for your reply. So "b " is for  Bruce. What is the "h" for? Inquiring minds wanna know! :)

    H for Henry. I guess this is because my grandfather was called Henry. He owned a large company that painted fine homes including President R.B. Hayes' estate. We are also thought to be distant relatives to King Henry the Eighth.  We are certainly related to the late movie star Franchot Tone who was in many movies from 1930-1960. He often played second fiddle to Clark Gable. This post was edited by B.H.Wilson at October 25, 2016 1:26 PM MDT

    I think of people that start their questions with false statements to lead the answers in ridiculous directions.

    It means, Rosie, that it is time for your yearly appointment.  Tell the doctor that you have done nothing but post screw questions for 48 hours and, hopefully he can give you a prescription to quell this anxiety over how a group of people you continuously bait responds or not to your liking.

    To me having a screw loose means that something will rattle.

    Literally, yes, Rufus! :-)


    Figuratively, to say someone "has a screw loose" means he or she is rather foolish or stupid, or perhaps very eccentric in behaviour.
