Barjo, pronounced bar-zho, is a slang term used in France meaning crazy or insane.

While barjo and its Verlan version are informal and not suitable for formal situations, they are commonly used among young people. The older, more recognized terms for crazy are fou/folle. The variant with a 't' ending is linked to Admiral Pierre Barjot from the 1956 Suez Crisis.
