Mataglap - an Indonesian word meaning "dark eye" or, probably, "dilated eye." It is an indication that someone is about to go berserk and start killing people at random

Doolally - mad or eccentric, from the Deolalie military sanatorium in Bombay where mentally ill troops were sent.

Batrachomyomachia - out of Homer, a battle between frogs and mice.
