Let's think about nature for a minute and then process this one: "...she is acting crazier than a goat in springtime..." Example usage: Person: "That lady is acting like a fool. She is crazier than a goat in springtime." flickr.com/photos/alchemist_x As always, let us first examine the original Spanish version of the saying: "Mas loca que una cabra en primavera." This one doesn't require much explanation and transcends cultures quite easily. Spring, nature, connect the dots as to why an animal would be acting all crazy. Although, why a goat? Do goats act especially crazy in comparison to other animals? It seems that is the impression they have left upon many in El Salvador.
