Definition
Plural of 'loco'; people who are crazy or wild, or a toxic plant that causes livestock to act strangely.
Etymology
From Spanish 'loco' meaning 'insane,' possibly from Latin 'locus' meaning 'place,' suggesting being 'out of place' mentally. English borrowed the Spanish word for both the plant and as slang for crazy people.
Kelly Says
Locoweed is a real plant that contains alkaloids affecting the brain—livestock that eat it become genuinely disoriented and act 'loco' (hence the name), which is why ranchers worked hard to remove it.
