Hi,
I found a delightful phrase in Julian Barnes's novel Talking It Over: "a bit round the bend." It's used to mean "rather odd, crazy," and the dictionaries concur.
But where does it come from? I do get a sense that it may refer to a surprise that comes from your blind side, but am not sure.
Thank you!
