I must ask for an upgrade of my cultural reference library on this BTW:
In a ditzy voice right out of Central Casting *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
Ditzy, I assume you know? Stupid and airheaded. "Central Casting" is a Hollywood-inspired term -- basically, if you're looking for the stereotypical villain or ingenue or another one-dimensional fill-in-the-blank character, Central Casting will send over someone to fit the bill. Central Casting is actually a real casting company for extras, stand-ins and so on, but the name has come into wider use for stereotyped characters....
