Sorry for all of you who blindly chose the name without a knowledge of its origins especially for you zany. Zany or Zani was the name given to a broad band of characters in the 15th century italian style of theater comedia del arte. The zanies were a group of clown like or jester like people who would preform acrobatics and act as the most crazy in the group.

lil mad is like big mad but the opposite, you mad but not mad to the extent of pullin somthin

silly, funny, crazy.

An out-of-fashion word for wacky and individualistic. Most zany things are out of fashion now too.

A lifestyle, an attitude, a mindset, a movement. The moment in which you don't understand zany is the moment in which you truly understand zany.

"The Zanes" or "Zanies", a term that originated around the Seattle area. "Zanies" are vapid, superficial young people that are often close-minded and stereotypical, caring about little beyond status and their appearance. Very rich people who care only about money and material things are also called "Zanies". Many Zanes are not malicious, but are always very ignorant.

The saying "Nuke the Zanes!" is a reference to the Zanies, usually used by people who don't approve of the Zany lifestyle.

A once cool word that was killed because it was over-commercialized, much like extreme except for the fact that the word extreme is totally shitty.
I sometimes let zany slip from time to time, i say it in a surfer dude voice like "Wow! What a zany guy" but mostly I use it sarcastically, by that I mean I say that Richard Nixon is zany. Nixon actually was a thieving, Cheneyesque, monster. Maybe some day zany will make a big comeback, most likely from the streets of Jamaica Queens.
