Ví dụ
It was so clear to me that Leslie was as nutty as a fruitcake. I would have been in grave neglect of my duty (sao lãng bổn phận nghiêm trọng) if I didn’t give the judge (thẩm phán) my opinion.

If you thought that this season is going to be comprised (chứa đựng) of packed storylines, you’re in for a real roller coaster ride (chuyến tàu lượn siêu tốc). It is going to be nutty as a fruitcake, which will make your mind go bats in the belfry (dở hơi).

When he was virtually unopposed (gần như không phản đối) that might have seemed adventuresome (thích mạo hiểm), but now, with voters looking on, he may have to come up with a salient defense (biện pháp bảo vệ) for a flight of fancy that’s nutty as a fruitcake.
