Well, it's true it means crazy and delirious, but as others pointed out, it also can mean funny. Many words have more than one meaning, you know... :B

If hysterical means crazy, crazy is an adjective. e.i. That's is a crazy cat. Your crazy.

OP said hysterical wasn't an adjective. Just pointing out a grammatical error.

I am "OP" and I still have no idea what you're trying to say.

Ohhhh... I see what you're saying now. However, you lack basic reading skills. Try rereading the post. I in no way claim that "hysterical" is not an adjective. I said it's not an adjective that describes something as funny.

You're hysterical.... And ignorant. Hysterical could be used as a description of something that is funny. You lack logical thinking.

Yeah, it's called intelligence.

1. That's not a disorder. 2. Wtf is wrong with you?

by Anonymous 12 years ago

1. It's very rare, many people, like you, don't have it. 2. Nothing, you just can't make a valid point so you need to make fun of someone who is questioning you.
