I thought you said Blackadder for a second, and my mind went off on a weird tangent.
"I have a cunning plan...we hunt."
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Or just cop to the pop culture definition, of which the dude is certainly one.
See, I could see Locke doing something like this and I don't think he's psycho. Just dangerous.

Like ita said, embrace the pop-culture use of "psycho." You'll find it embraces you right back, all warm and snuggly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You can see Locke stalking, kidnapping and then killing one of the survivors and stringing him up? What would make him non-psycho in that scenario?

What would make him non-psycho in that scenario?
Apparently the DSM IV and a healthy dose of pedantry.

Sure. Right before it stabs you in the stomach, kidnaps you, and hangs your new boyfriend from a tree.

Pfft. Her cite doesn't even have a reference past 1990. Next thing you know you'll advocate loose definitions of gerunds and references to Josh Whedon and blithely mistaking Charlotte Bronte as the author of Sense and Sensibility.
Standards, people! Elsewise, cats and dogs living together...

What would make him non-psycho in that scenario?
PMS. Cranky feelings. Out of coffee. Hungry for human liver.
Apparently the DSM IV and a healthy dose of pedantry.
You are calling me a pedant? Dude, we are coeval in our pedantry at the very least.
