Word: insane in the membrane Part of Speech: adj Etymology: From a rhyming lyric in the single "Insane in the Brain" (1993) by the American hip hop group Cypress Hill. The phrase is a jocular extension of "insane in the brain". 1. Insane; crazy. Labels: derogatory, humorous, slang, sometimes Example: Who you tryna get crazy with ése? Don't you know I'm loco? […] "Aaant", the lights are blinking, I'm thinking / It's all over when I go out drinking Oh, makin my mind slow / That's why I don't fuck with the big 4-0 Bro, I got to maintain / 'cause a nigga like me is goin insane Insane in the membrane Insane in the brain […] Rip that mainframe, I'll explain A nigga like me is goin insane Insane in the membrane Insane in the brain […] Yes I'm the pirate pilot / of this ship if I dip with the ultraviolet dream Hide from the red light beam Now do you believe in the unseen?

This is one of the most dramatic minutes in any World Cup match ever. Romania are destroying Argentina on the counter and could easily be 3-1 up. Then again it could also be 2-2. Romania's first chance came far too easily. Munteanu curved a long ball down the left to Dumitrescu, who slipped Caceres with laughable ease and ran into the area as Cáceres went down holding his snout. The angle was too tight for the shot so he laid it back for the onrushing Popescu, whose first-time shot from 15 yards was blocked by the legs of Islas. Redondo probably did just enough to put Popescu off.
