How to use "Loony" in context?
Loonies are people who have lost touch with reality and often exhibit bizarre or even dangerous behaviors. Characteristics that may make someone a loon include a persistent belief in the paranormal or in fantasy worlds, an excessive fascination with conspiracy theories, a lack of social or emotional stability, and a lack of or refusal to conform to social norms.
As children, many loonies may experience difficulties adjusting to changes in their environment, leading them to become fixated on particular topics or ideas. If a loonie's mental health is not well managed, they may find it difficult to hold down a job or stay in contact with other people.
