Word of the Day: Haywire
Unfortunately, sometimes things and people go haywire and when that happens things fail to work as they should.
If you’re lucky, it doesn’t happen very often. If you’re unlucky, well, it happens all the time.
Remember the days of analogue TV? Sometimes the picture would go haywire (usually at the worst moment), and you would have to adjust the antenna or (rabbit ears) to try and get the picture back to normal again.
Sometimes people can go haywire too.
Finally, we’re beginning to see signs of spring. During a long cold winter of having to stay indoors, some people get depressed. In Canada, some people suffer from what is called SAD or Seasonal Affective Disorder.
This can be serious but with a sun lamp, it can be managed.
Other people get cabin fever and go haywire. They start acting weird and do all sorts of crazy things.
Hopefully, it’s nothing that a week or two of vacation in a summy local couldn’t cure.
That’s why there are so many snowbirds in Florida and Arizona during the winter.
So there you have it, when things or people go haywire, they fail to operate as usual.
