I need your help!
I made an OE about vegetables using this song:
...but I don �t want to upload it before making sure it is correct.
Is "I went right out of my gore" correct? I have never heard this expression.
Another question is " I �ve gone completely  ???????? over vegetables like these". I hear this part over and over but still could not come to a conclusion. 
Could you pleeease see if you can find out the �missing � word? And tell me what "going out of my gore" means?

I think the word in LOONEY, which is a synonym of crazy, see the definition of thefreedictionary.com

loon�y or loon�ey also lun�y  (ln) Informal
adj. loon�i�er also lun�i�erloon�i�est also lun�i�est
1. Extremely foolish or silly.
2. Crazy; insane.
n. pl. loon�ies also loon�eys or lun�ies
A foolish or crazy person.



I´m not sure about the other expression, sorry!!!!!!!

LOVE THAT!!! The only definition that I can find that is a possible is in the Oxford Dictionary and is : gore - a triangular piece of material used in making a garment, sail or umberella. origin OLD ENGLISH, �triangular piece of land � So technically he could be breaking out of his �triangular piece of land � Hope that helps a bit and I can �t wait to see you lesson plan, I will be one of the first to download it!

Just been on es.yappr and the spelling is gourd which makes it : gourd - 1. the large hard-skinned fleshy fruit of a climbing or trailing plant 2. a container of the hollowed skin of a gourd. ORIGIN OLD FRENCH. Makes more sense, as its plant / fruit related, can you eat the fruits, possible, keeps continuation flowing. TTFN Chris

He says he is going out of his gourd.
Which is another way of going out of your mind!
(gourd is a pumpkin too! and another word for head)

There �s an expression that goes
bored out of your gourd!

Hope this helps

I �ve gone completely loony over vegetables like these.
(gone crazy)

Thanks a lot, everyone! Thanks to your help the OE is done. (Please don �t take it as an advertisement!) The site is great, Aldana! Thanks Nabila, Krisis, Libertybelle and Dteacher. I didn �t reply sooner because I had to go out to buy dog food. Would you believe that a family of opossums found its way inside the bag and ruined all the food? I can �t find them now. Probably went back to the forest near my house. Thanks again, Anna
