This is a term which refers to a certain state of mind experienced by those unfortunate enough to live in the far north of Australia during "the wet" (the summer). Aparently the heat and humidity are enough to send people mad.
I'm not sure the condition is limited to the tropics. This is my nextdoor neightbour, who wears her knickers to take her dustbin out. This evening, the woman across the road was watering the grass on the pavement with a hosepipe, despite the fact that New South Wales is experiencing it's driest summer for 100 years. She was wearing a hairpiece secured with a red scrunchie and a sort of spanish flamenco dancer's dress.
Folks round here ain't completely right in the head. My neighbours at home seem very boring in comparison!
