Hello, Michelle.
How are you?
Hi, Aubrey. I'm doing well. Aubrey, have you ever experienced any completely unhinged behavior? Yes.
How can I become fearless and fluent in English?
This week, I had an experience at volleyball where someone definitely demonstrated unhinged behavior. And to make a long story short... Someone went for the ball when I went for the ball and then kept running at me. So I stopped because I don't want anyone to run into me. I collided with someone recently, same situation where I called the ball and they still ran at it and we collided and I was injured. So I'm a little more wary. I'm a little hesitant. And someone still ran at the ball. And then I let it drop. And beyond that, there was a lot of unhinged behavior of them think it was my fault. And I'm like, I don't know if I can play anymore. And they're like, fine, then leave. I'm like, wow, this person is unhinged.
Oh my gosh. Yeah. People can get like that also like with kids sports, right? Like the parents can become a little bit unhinged.
I have a story about that too, but maybe another time. I may have shared it. It was about my daughter playing soccer. That happens a ton. Like people get really passionate. They're defending their kids or they really want them to win if they're overly competitive. People can get unhinged.
Yeah. So, I mean, unhinged, it could be someone posting online nonstop about chaotic drama or someone going on a rant in a group chat or maybe a boss messaging at all hours of the night. You might hear someone describe that as unhinged. So, Aubrey, today's question comes from YouTube, from Saddam Mohammed, U1G, and this listener is going to ask about the word unhinged. So, could you read the question for us?
Absolutely. Saddam says, I noticed that this word wildly collocates with other words like to run wild, oh, the word wildly. Okay. We're talking about another episode. Yeah. Can you reflect on the word unhinged? I hear it a lot in many contexts.
What does unhinged behavior look like in sports?
Thanks guys for this helpful English trending word. I love this question that Saddam heard this other episode with this vocabulary about something being wild. And he's comparing, he's like, how does that relate to unhinged? And they are related, but different. So I'm excited to dive into this today.
Yes, exactly. So yeah, Sadam, thank you for listening and for the great question. So yeah, unhinged is kind of a popular word right now. Like it's, it's kind of a little bit trendy. I think it's great for connection. It's very expressive. And when you understand it in conversation, it's instantly relatable.

Exactly, yes. We're going to talk about unhinged today. Literally speaking, if you think of a door, it's on the hinges. That's the piece of metal that makes it swing open and closed. They connect it to the wall. If a door is off its hinges, it's not connected to the wall anymore.
