batshit crazy

originated by observing the way bats defecate. bats hang upside-down and poo upside-down. if people were to hang upside-down and poo it would go all over their face therefore only a crazy person would sh-t like a bat making them batsh-t crazy.
bill wants to buy an oz of green for 20 bucks, yea that bill he’s batsh-t crazy
a person who is batsh-t crazy is certifiably nuts. the phrase has origins in the old fashioned term “bats in the belfry.” old churches had a structure at the top called a belfry, which housed the bells. bats are extremely sensitive to sound and would never inhabit a belfry of an active church where the bell was rung frequently. occasionally, when a church was abandoned and many years p-ssed without the bell being rung, bats would eventually come and inhabit the belfry. so, when somebody said that an individual had “bats in the belfry” it meant that there was “nothing going on upstairs” (as in that person’s brain). to be batsh-t crazy is to take this even a step further. a person who is batsh-t crazy is so nuts that not only is their belfry full of bats, but so many bats have been there for so long that the belfry is coated in batsh-t. hence, the craziest of crazy people are batsh-t crazy.
