Loco is a Spanish word meaning "crazy" or "mad." It can also refer to a locomotive in informal English, and in some contexts it names certain plants (locoweed) that affect livestock. Details:
- Common meaning in English: crazy, insane. This usage comes from Spanish loco and is widely used in informal speech.
- In transportation slang: loco is short for locomotive, especially in rail contexts.
- Plant-related term: locoweed plants that can cause locoism in livestock when ingested in large amounts.
- Other uses you might encounter: titles like Loco (video games), and various place names or cultural references (e.g., Loco in Chilean nomenclature or music terms meaning “in place”).
If you’re looking for a specific sense (e.g., slang usage vs. zoological/toxic plant meaning), tell me the context and I’ll tailor examples and definitions.
