The concept of descabellado , which derives from the verb descabellar , refers to that which is unusual, crazy or absurd . The term can refer to an expression, a situation, an action or a project, to name a few possibilities.
Based on the above, we can establish that among the synonyms of crazy there are words such as foolish, illogical, disproportionate, irrational or misguided, among others. On the other hand, as far as antonyms are concerned, we can highlight reasonable or sensible as well as logical, rational or correct.
For example: “The representative's crazy statements generated a great controversy in the room” , “It is crazy to assume that we can solve all our problems in this way” , “The American team won the match with a crazy shot by its captain in the last second of play.”
Something crazy is difficult to believe since it seems irrational or illogical . In 1996, Argentine President Carlos Saúl Menem stated in a speech that, in a “short time,” there would be a “space flight system” with ships that would reach the stratosphere and that would allow flights from Argentina to Japan in just an hour and a half. . At that time many people described the politician's words as crazy due to the impracticality of his announcement . In fact, more than two decades after these statements, there is no similar system and traveling from Argentine territory to Japan takes more than twenty hours.
The crazy, however, can be realized . Suppose a basketball player shoots with his back to the basket and from his own court. Due to the low probability of success, the attempt can be defined as crazy. However, he gets the score. It is possible that, if you try the same shot a hundred more times, you will not make any, so it is a crazy play beyond an eventual success.
In addition to what we have made known, we must not forget that Descabelladas is a project that has been carried out in Spain since 2010 and that is a perfect mix between health and theater. Specifically, what it does is launch de-dramatization workshops that are aimed at women who suffer from cancer or other chronic diseases.
In the field of literature, it should be noted that, on numerous occasions, the term in question has been used to give titles to different works. A good example of this is the children's and youth story “The Magic Florist. A totally crazy plan.” It is a book written by Gina Mayer that tells how the young Violet decides to help her friend Zack succeed in a sports competition and to do so she decides to cast a floral spell.
Likewise, there are other works that use that word in their title, such as “The 1001 nights without sex: the craziest plan to find the ideal partner”, written by Suzanne Schlosbergb, or “The hat of crazy ideas”, which is the work of the author José Antonio Francés González.
