loon
When referring to a person, this term is an informal and often derogatory label for someone perceived as crazy or eccentric. While it can be used playfully among friends to describe quirky behavior, it carries a stronger negative connotation than "eccentric" and is less clinical than "mentally ill."
In the ornithological sense, the word is primarily used in North America to describe the Gavia genus of birds. In other English-speaking regions, such as the UK, these birds are more commonly referred to as divers.
