Etymology
The word 'potty' originally refers to a child's or sick person's toilet. Its transition to describe irrational behavior likely stems from those who might comically act out or create messes, leading to a connection with silly or crazy behavior. As language evolved, 'potty' became a slang term in British English to imply eccentricity or foolishness, and from there, the superlative 'pottiest' emerged. The informal usage of 'potty' to denote craziness became more prominent in the late 20th century, particularly in colloquial speech, where it continues to evoke light-heartedness and playful banter.
