: : I would like to know the meaning of "you are out of your gourd". Does anyone know this?
: Used to describe an extreme mental state--as in "You're out of your gourd" meaning you are crazy or "stoned out of your gourd" meaning extremely intoxicated.
: Why gourd I do not know. A gourd is a pumpkin type vegetable. Maybe someone else here can figure out the connection.
Gourd = head. Because of the shape of some gourds, I imagine.
