Cocamama

/ˌkoʊkəˈmɑːmə/ adjective

Definition

Slang for crazy, wild, or behaving in an uncontrolled manner; acting without sense or restraint.

Etymology

Of disputed origin, possibly derived from Spanish American slang or a folk etymology. Some sources suggest a connection to 'caca' (feces) + 'mama' (mother), while others propose it evolved from nonsense syllables imitating erratic behavior.

Kelly Says

Though its true origin is uncertain, 'cocamama' became popular in American English through mid-20th century slang, and it's fascinating how a word of unclear origin can become part of cultural vocabulary through sheer usage patterns.
