الاستخدام والفروق الدقيقة
This is an idiomatic, somewhat old-fashioned expression, often used humorously or dramatically. It means to panic or act irrationally, not a literal loss of intelligence. Commonly used in stories or to describe an overreaction. Similar to 'lose your mind', but less severe.
