* as crazy as a door/backdoor
Expression USED Frequently BY Everybody
Used when someone is completely out of their mind, doing something stupid or just acting really crazy. Also, in old Dutch ‘deur’ meant something as ‘fool’, so it doesn’t actually refer to a door, although no one really uses it that way anymore.
“Heb je gehoord wat hij vorig weekend heeft gedaan?” “Ja, hij is echt zo zot als een achterdeur!”
“Did you hear what he did last weekend?” “Yeah, he really is as crazy as a backdoor!”
