What Does The Idiom "I Went Nuts.." Mean?

 The picture below is from the film " How Do You Know". This note caught my attention so I'm sharing this to all the  students of Aja Aja English.






Go nuts - to become crazy, confused , or discouraged 


Example sentence:
      I went nuts when the conductor  asked  me to  pay the                fare but I couldn't find my wallet anywhere. 







ESL students, when did you go nuts?

You may tweet it at  http://twitter.com/ajaajaenglish#


 or put it on the Facebook wall . You may also email me at ajaajaenglish@gmail.com 




             Live an exciting life!


              Teacher Jet ^^
