Если говорят, что кто-либо has gone doolally, это значит, что человек ведёт себя странно, неадекватно. Слово это пришло из Индии. Когда британские войска, закончив службу, возвращались в лагерь при Деолали, чтобы дождаться там возвращения домой, то долгие периоды нудного ожидания в лагере, а также влияние тяжёлого климата и были причиной того, что некоторые из военнослужащих становились ненормальными, сходили с ума.I'm worried about Peter. I can't get any sense out of him. I reckon he's gone a bit doolally. — Я беспокоюсь о Питере. Я не могу добиться от него нормальной реакции. Как я понимаю, он немного не в себе.
