After she died I never heard anyone say "meshuga" until years later when I moved to Czechoslovakia, and found out that it is very commonly used throughout central Europe.
My nan always used to tell me to 'keep yer hand on yer ha'penny' as a way of telling me to not let boys have their wicked way with me. She started saying it when i was about 8
If I ever seem in a hurry or am rushing around my Nan always says to me - You are wizzing around like a fart in a collinder It still makes no sense to me, even though I've heard it most days for 20 years
My nan uses the phrase knocked up to refer to being tired. She has no problem annoucing to everyone in the room that i look knocked up when ive been working lates!

Meshuggeneh is Yiddish for crazy, or a crazy fool.
