crazies
SayKRAY-zeezUK/ˈkɹeɪ.ziz/AUS/ˈkɹæɪ.ziz/
- 1Plural of crazy.
A handful of crazies showed up at the rally waving conspiracy signs.
The internet has given the crazies a louder platform than ever before.
Note
The plural belongs only to the countable noun, the slang word for an insane or eccentric person, a crackpot. The other slang noun, meaning lunacy or eccentric behavior in general, is uncountable and has no plural, so crazies always means people, never a state of mind. Both nouns are slang made from the adjective, so keep them out of formal writing.
