    Mental - loco in the coco, insane.

    ROXY GREY IS MENTAL, AND NOT ONLY IS SHE MENTAL IT IS COMPLIMENTED BY HER PEDANTISM would be a way to use 'mental' in a sentence.

    Yes Roxy it's English [aside to himself] don't be so ******* stupid [back to roxy] maybe you should look up the etymology of the word.

    (If you are multilingual and English is not your mother tongue then excuse me)

    It means 'that person is crazy'. I DONOT like it at ALL when someone says that because 99.9 percent of the time that person is not geniunely crazy.

    i think that it's an english thing. i could be wrong.

    They're usually saying that person is crazy.

    It means that they actually are mental or that they are seemingly psychosocial.
