Barking Mad


(uk usage) – almost insane, usually in a socially acceptable manner. often used to describe the behaviour expected of some (rural) old money families and more a likable eccentricity than a true mental disfunction.
by god, their all barking mad, colonel!… see if they’d like to come for supper next week when we have the hybrid-smyths over. i think they’ll all get on famously.
furious, apoplectic, absolutely beside oneself with rage. (imagine a rabid dog, foaming at the mouth and – wait for it! – barking…)

can also refer to someone who is unbalanced (using “mad” in the british sense, referring to an insane person).
i think d-ck cheney’s just barking mad.
