What does Baek Sloy (បែកស្លយ) mean in Khmer?

Language and words are living thing. They are updated from day to day according the speaker using it to its condition and situation. Today, if you look to the next generation of Khmer people, you will meet something new with their language speaking. For example, if you go to the society, reading on social network especial y Facebook, you will figure out you often see people say a new word to something or someone. It is the word "Bae Sloy". And now I will explain what it meas.

Baek Sloy is a compound word we can say it is an expression. It is from the two different words. For the word Baek, in real meaning, broken and contextual meaning means you cannot control the way you are doing or thinking. Sloy. In real meaning, it means part of joining the cloth which is insider of it. And in the contextual, it means Crazy.
Baek Sloy means you are so strange from other people by what you are doing now because what you do is outrageous. Or you start lose your control while you are doing a thing, but what you do is very interesting to other people.
