"Nutjob" is an English slang term that appeared in the mid-20th century, around the 1950s–1960s. It combines "nut," a vulgar slang term for the head or brain (and by extension, a crazy or eccentric person), with "job," implying a person defined by that trait. The term came to describe someone who behaves irrationally, eccentrically, or appears mentally unstable. It is commonly used in informal speech, media, and humor to criticize or mock extreme behavior. The word is derogatory and potentially offensive, but usually not considered highly vulgar, with its impact depending on context and tone.
