Off your trolley British phrase informal slang

Stupid or crazy
To be extremely stupid; not to be alert
The expression came into use in the 1890s and is most likely related to the operation of a trolley. Trolleys operate by running along with electric cables above that attach to a metal arm on top of the cab. However, these arms sometimes lurch off the electric cable. Once disconnected from the electric cable, a trolley has no source of power.
