“Loco” is a Spanish word that simply means “crazy” in English. It’s used to describe someone or something wild, out of control, or just plain nuts.
In everyday life, you’ll hear it dropped into casual English chats—especially when someone does something reckless. Friends might tease, “You went skydiving without telling anyone?
