| crazy about something crazy about (someone/something) to like or love someone or something very much. He was my first love, and I was crazy about him. Usage notes: often used in the negative form not crazy about to express a lack of enthusiasm about someone or something: I'm really not crazy about TV, but I occasionally watch a ballgame. Altho crazy about and mad about are true syns. in most contexts, only crazy about is much used in the negative, & of course mad about is more frequently used non-idiomatically to mean angry about sth.--SL, 8/02 |
