I heard in a serial someone saying "Driving me bananas"...It means the person is going crazy rite??...Can any one tell me where to use the phrase exactly...and when to use??....And please tell me why bananas??...Why not some other fruits??...:))

Thanks

ha ha...actually some other "fruit" is also used... you can either say "you drive me bananas" or "you drive me nuts". They are both colloquials meaning that "you are making me crazy (or angry)"...
