著猴 (tio̍h-kâu):
Even though it’s a Taiwanese Hokkien expression, in Taiwan, people often use it in casual Mandarin conversations or when texting (many use 中猴 in text messages). 著猴 describes someone who is agitated, restless, overly excited, panicking, acting irrationally due to stress or wildly—like a monkey. In Mandarin, equivalents include 發神經/发神经 (fā shén jīng), 不正經/不正经 (bù zhèng jīng), or 猴急 (hóu jí). In English, it’s similar to saying “going bananas."
