Tempting (not my dialect, but otherwise appropriate) but does that derive from "wacko" or something else related to disparaging words for mental illness? That sort of thing is considered ableist too. (For this reason I have taken to calling stupid people "fools" and "dolts" instead of "idiots" or "morons" when I remember the difference, and I'm trying with less success to remember "loon" for describing people who behave in extreme or erratic ways; I'm not sure if that's technically the bird or a shortening of "lunatic", but it's probably better than "crazy".)

We're excited to have a second Phoenix meetup. As always, absolutely anyone is welcome. This time we'd like to change the location to the Barrett Honors College Dining Hall at ASU (It's extremely nice and has excellent food). I'll be there from 5 to 7 on Saturday and have a copy of Godel, Escher, Bach on the table.
The address is 698-798 Apache Blvd E, Tempe, AZ, and here it is on a map. The parking garage on Lemon is probably ideal, Barrett is south of that.
My phone number is 602-501-9420, feel free to call or text me.
