Why We're GOING NUTS Over Nut Allergies

I remember in the late 1990s that rock and roll was declared dead and that dance music was the big thing, crushing all before it. When sales of record decks outstripped sales of guitars, the press WENT NUTS and declared that the end of the world was near.

To "go nuts" can mean different things depending on the context or the situation. An office worker who throws his computer out the window in frustration could be said to have "gone nuts." Or what would the friends of a young teenage girl say who fainted at a Justin Bieber concert? "She just went nuts when he came on the stage."
Deutsche Bahn, the German national rail operator, once ran a highly amusing television commercial showing passengers standing around on a train platform. Suddenly, they hear an announcement: "Ladies and gentlemen, the ICE to Hamburg will be three minutes late." How do the passengers react? They go nuts of course!
And then there is the story about the Caribbean cruise ship that was passing a small island when a passenger sees a man on the island, frantically waving his arms. The passenger runs up to the bridge and shouts at the captain:
"Captain! Did you see that man on the island waving his arms? Who is he?"
"I have no idea. But when we pass the island every week, he just goes nuts."
