MENTAL


Medical terminology no longer uses 'mental' as a diagnostic term, it is derogatory and derisory in nature. There is now a long list of ICD10 classifications of mental health disorders for clinical classification.
However, in the common vernacular 'mental' has been taken on to mean 'very exciting', 'exhilarating', 'fantastic' or 'really rather good'.

To take things one step further, going up mount Yasur, an active volcano on the island of Tanna was "f**king mental" (sorry mother, but the word does have a place in this context).

Message ends.

I hope the video clip plays for you
