(India) Mentally ill person; lunatic.
An Indian slang term meaning crazy, mad, or out of one's mind. Borrowed from Hindi/Urdu, pagal is used across South Asian English and diaspora communities to call someone nuts, reckless, or wildly irrational. It can be an insult, a playful tease, or even an affectionate compliment depending on context — calling your friend pagal for doing something daring has a totally different energy than using it seriously.
Indian English slang derived from the Hindi/Urdu word for mad, crazy, or mentally ill. Used widely across South Asia and in diaspora communities, 'pagal' covers a spectrum from genuinely mentally unwell to simply behaving erratically or foolishly. Delivery and context determine whether it is affectionate (fondly crazy in a fun way) or a genuine insult about someone's judgment or stability.
(US, slang) A stupid, oafish or clumsy person.
