Hey there,

recently, I observed that my environment is using the word „insane“ quite often.

Calling that out as ableist does not help them much, because they ask for alternative words.

Recently I ran into https://therollingexplorer.com/ableist-language-to-avoid-and-acceptable-alternatives-insane-edition/ and would propose to evaluate the alternatives suggested there:

Insane

• Wild
• Bananas
• Odd
• Strange
• Eccentric
• Outlandish
• Silly
• Ignorant
• Ridiculous
• Unnatural
• Outrageous
• Out of this world
• Exciting
• Infatuated
• Passionate
• Enthusiastic
• Impractical
• Senseless

Insanity

• Foolishness
• Silliness
• Irrationality
• Absurdity
• Ridiculousness

I am not sure how to credit the source properly.
Are there words you would like to add or remove?

I'm willing to create a PR once those questions are answered.
