  I don’t get the last one and feel pretty dumb at the moment.

  Screwball, crackpot… leaky faucet?

    Drip. Used to be an expression for an idiot.

    Yeah, that one took me a minute. I think “drip” or “slow drip”? I know “drip” used to be a term but was never one I associated with “screwball” or “crackpot”. Usually I’d heard “drip” to mean something closer to “dull” or “boring”.
