== Insult == In modern times, labeling someone as insane often carries little or no medical meaning and is rather used as an insult or as a reaction to behavior perceived to be outside the bounds of accepted norms. For instance, the definition of insanity is sometimes colloquially purported to be "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://quoteinvestigator.com/2017/03/23/same/|title = Insanity is Doing the Same Thing over and over Again and Expecting Different Results β Quote Investigator| date=23 March 2017 }}</ref> However, this does not match the legal definition of insanity.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/in-therapy/200907/the-definition-insanity|title = The Definition of Insanity β Psychology Today}}</ref>
