Literal meaning: it is totally crazy.
Dingue has gone from being synonymous with crazy, nuts to meaning unbelievable, surreal. Much more used in everyday conversation than "fou" (mad)
Examples:
Il est dingue ce mec = this guy is barmy
II conduit comme un dingue= he drives like a maniac.
Tu verrais son appart', c'est complètement dingue= if you could see her flat, it's awesome.
C'est dingue ce qui se passe = I can't believe this is happening

Martine,
- given that awesome is now common parlance for anything above average what do you think would be a good term for something that is actually "awesome" ?
