jengaio's words: Do these people know they're doing that, though? Or are they really just muddle-headed, crackers, morons?

If she'd meant crackers as a noun there would not be a comma between "muddle-headed" and "crackers". She'd have written this: Or are they really just muddle-headed crackers, morons?

Main Entry: crack·ers
Pronunciation: 'kra-k&rz
Function: adjective
Etymology: probably cracked + -ers (as in starkers)
Date: 1928
: CRAZY

OK, jo6pac, I'm willing to take your word for it. Actually, I rather doubt she is aware of any culture beyond the northeast.
