Re: What's a Daft? Some kinda Canadian Insult? *vb

'daft' isn't Canadian in the strict sense - it's a Scottish expression. Both my Scots parents use it and I used it when I lived in Scotland as a child. There are lots o' Scots up here in the Great White North so it is sometimes still heard here. It means "nuts" but don't take my word for it, here's what Answers.com says:

"Afflicted with or exhibiting irrationality and mental unsoundness: brainsick, crazy, demented, disordered, distraught, dotty, insane, lunatic, mad, maniac, maniacal, mentally ill, moonstruck, off, touched, unbalanced, unsound, wrong. Informal bonkers, cracked, daffy, gaga, loony. Slang bananas, batty, buggy, cuckoo, fruity, loco, nuts, nutty, screwy, wacky. Chiefly British crackers. Law non compos mentis. Idioms: around the bend, crazy as a loon, mad as a hatter, not all there, nutty as a fruitcake, offout ofone's head, off one's rocker, of unsound mind, out of one's mind, sick in the head, stark raving mad"
