Basketcase

Sometimes percieved as an insult, usually a stereotype or label.

A basketcase is common word used to describe a social outcast in school. Some characteristics of a basketcase included emotional instability, weirdness, and constant isolation from mainstream society. A basketcase is often independent and isolationist, in other words, anti-social.

This word was widely used in the 80s. Like most slang prior to the 90s, it has fallen into disuse. Today, a basketcase can be categorized in three groups known as the goth, emo, and punk.

Basketcase started common usage in the 1950-1970's in reference to mechanical parts disassembled by the owner and whom the ability to re-assemble the object in working order is non-existent. Thus the disassembled item is brought to a competent repair person to reconstruct the item into a working state.

A customer came in today with a carburetor in pieces in a cardboard box... he had taken it completely apart and forgot where all the pieces went. It was a total basketcase.
