Definition of go postal

go postal    Featured Word

verb

  • to perpetrate acts of premeditated violence.

    by Michael Venables, USA, Oct 01 2001.

  • to go insane. Notes: the term originated from the cases of United States Postal Service employees who, due to job stress or other traumatic influence, have murdered coworkers on the job, usually with a firearm. Only later did the definition open up to general insanity, but the term still has connotations of violence.
