Wikipedia's etymology of stir crazy:

Stir crazy is a phrase that dates to 1908 according to the Oxford English Dictionary[1] and the online Etymology Dictionary. Used among inmates in prison, it referred to a prisoner who became mentally unbalanced because of prolonged incarceration. It is based upon the slang stir (1851) to mean prison.

It is now used to refer to anyone that becomes restless from being stuck in one place too long, with a similar meaning to cabin fever.


Riiight. Not that my prison is so bad. And it's voluntary. But still, 'tis true, I am going stir crazy, must escape CONfiNemEnt....
