Zany

[Sarah]

A merry-andrew; a buffoon.Then write that I may follow, and so be Thy echo, thy debtor, thyfoil, thy zany. Donne.Preacher at once, and zany of thy age. Pope.

[Sarah]

An out-of-fashion word for wacky and individualistic. Most zany things are out of fashion now too.

[Sarah]

Sorry for all of you who blindly chose the name without a knowledge of its origins especially for you zany. Zany or Zani was the name given to a broad band of characters in the 15th century italian style of theater [comedia del arte]. The zanies were a group of clown like or jester like people who would preform acrobatics and act as the most crazy in the group.

[silly], [funny], [crazy].

[Tina]

A once cool word that was killed because it was over-commercialized, much like extreme except for the fact that the word extreme is totally shitty.
I sometimes let [zany] slip from time to time, i say it in a surfer dude voice like Wow! What a zany guy but mostly I use it sarcastically, by that I mean I say that Richard Nixon is zany. Nixon actually was a thieving, [Cheneyesque], monster. Maybe some day zany will make a big comeback, most likely from the streets of [Jamaica Queens].

[Merna]

A lifestyle, an attitude, a [mindset], a movement. The moment in which you dont understand [zany] is the moment in which you truly understand zany. Not to be confused with the drug [Xanax].

[Sarah]

A word [put in] as a warning that the person, movie or act it is [attached] to will be totally and completely [unfunny].

[Dianne]

Amusingly unconventional and idiosyncratic.
