This week's word is
crackpot
which means (noun referring to a person) a crazy or very strange person; (adjective for an idea) foolish.
Examples:
Some crackpot called to tell us that the sky is falling in.
Tommy had a crackpot idea and all his stupid friends followed it.
The Spanish translation must be an informal term. For instance 'chiflado' or 'grillado' as one of my students pointed out in class.
