Basket Case - what is it?

one who is crazy, well i'll let the lyrics of the Green Day song say it for you.

Do you have the time
To listen to me whine
About nothin' and everything
All at once?

I am one of those
Melodramatic fools.
Neurotic to the bone,
No doubt about it.

Sometimes I give myself the creeps.
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me.
It all keeps addin' up.
I think I'm crackin' up.
Am I just paranoid,
Or am I just stoned?

I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams.
She said it's lack of sex
That's bringin' me down.

I went to a whore.
He said my life's a bore,
So quit my whining cuz
It's bringin' her down.

Sometimes I give myself the creeps.
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me.
It all keeps addin' up.
I think I'm crackin' up.
Am I just paranoid?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Grasping to control.
So I better hold on.

Sometimes I give myself the creeps.
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me.
It all keeps addin' up.
I think I'm crackin' up.
Am I just paranoid,
Or am I just stoned?

What does "Basket Case" mean?

The phrase has its roots in WW2. When a soldier came into a medical facility with a limb or multiple limbs detatched from his body, the nurses would call the patient a "basket case". As in they had to bring the soldier to them in a basket.

Modern day usage is to describe someone that is in need of extreme assistance(mental or physical).

Well Marge they brought in another basket case, a grenade blew off his legs.

Basket Case

1980s horror epic about Duane Bradley and his deformed, slab or meat brother named Belial that he carries around in a wicker basket. The 2 brothers (once attaches as seimese twins at the side) go to New York city in order to kill the doctors who seperated them. One of the sickest, funniest movies ever made. Basket Case 2, and Basket Case 3: The Progeny followed.

I saw Basket Case last night, it made me laugh until I puked.
