Hehe.

You don't know the half of it, daemon99. Laughing

(By the way, 'not know the half of it' is a fixed idiom, and I have used it as such.) Very Happy

i know i am a late arrival to this topic, but "gone out of my head" seems to be the phrase that i have always heard. i have lived in america for almost all of my life, with stops in morocco and belgium, and i have never heard the phrase "gone out of my brain". that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist or is incorrect, but i have never seen or heard it.

Hi Adrian

Is it safe to assume that you know "go out of my head" as a fixed idiom that means "go crazy"?

Would you use that same idiom to say that "the name of something has gone crazy"? That would not be very typical, would it?

My last question is this: Does "The name of the movie is gone out of my head" mean the same thing as "The name of the movie has gone crazy"?

Don't worry. I already know what your answer will be. Wink

Hi,

What about this - Charles 1st lost his head twice - once when he heard he was going to be executed and the second time was when he had his head cut off. Then the executioner lost it because the people were very angry. They lost it too. Then they found it lying in the basket and someone said: What a loser!

Just to remind you, the test has nothing to do with the fixed expression "out of one's head/mind" (insane/crazy). This is the mini-dialog from the test:
