Out of Your Mind

Welcome to English in a Minute!

When you’re listening to American English, you might hear this phrase:

OUT OF YOUR MIND

Is someone who is out of their mind thinking straight?

I just got two tickets to see Paul McCartney in concert.

Want to go with me?

Oh my gosh, that would be so cool!

How much were the tickets?

200 dollars

I bought them from someone, so I had to pay a little more.

Whoa! Are you out of your mind?

Sorry, but I’m NOT going to pay that much!

Out of your mind means you are a little crazy, or not thinking straight.

This is an informal saying.

Some times it can be said in anger, but you can also say this to a friend in a humorous way.

You must be out of your mind

And that’s English in a Minute!
