Definition of go postal
go postal 
verb
- to perpetrate acts of premeditated violence.
- 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 still has connotations of violence.
