Learn English – Is “got insane” a correct sentence with a meaning

meaning

First of all: it should be obvious English is not my native language. 😉

A customer of mine just bought a domain, gotinsane, and I am just wondering if it has some meaning and if it is correct English.

Best Answer

Using got insane in something like the following

That party got insane after you left

is a fairly common way to indicate that the state of affairs became out of control or "insane". (I should note, in this case, insane does not mean literally insane, but is figuratively applied to mean wild or exciting).

The same construction can be pretty widely applied:

The evening got really depressing after she brought up her friend's illness.

The game got exciting when the final goal sent it to OT.

It got difficult after they introduced the new rule set.

Given that we're just working with a domain name out of context, it could indicate a lot of things, but a site that allows users to show off events that got 'insane' would be a reasonable guess I'd say.
