Bedlam

"Bedlam" originally referred to the Hospital of St. Mary of Bethlehem in London, a famous mental asylum known for its chaotic conditions in the 18th century. Over time, the term evolved into a colloquial expression meaning wild, noisy, or chaotic behavior or scenes of disorder. It’s often used to describe situations that are highly turbulent, frenzied, or disorderly, capturing the sense of confusion and lack of control associated with the historic asylum’s reputation. Essentially, "Bedlam" symbolizes extreme chaos or madness in a broader cultural context.
