Craziness

Posted by Word Camel November 13, 2002In reply to A slang posted by Miri on November 13, 2002

I have to translate from English into Hebrew.
"can you beat that for daftness?"
can anyone help in the meaning of this sentence?
I'll be most grateful to anyone who can help.
Thank you

I am guessing here, but I think "daft" means roughly the same as "mishegas" in Yiddish. It means craziness. Yiddish buffs, any other suggestions?
