How is it used?:
My doctor just put me on anti-depressants. I guess that makes me another laced banana.
What does it mean?:
1. Someone with mental health concerns who is receiving medical treatment vis-à-vis medication. 2. A psychiatric patient.
How did it come to be used this way?:
Probably rooted in the expression someone who is considered "crazy" or mad is "bananas," or has "gone bananas." So, a "laced banana" is someone who is taking ("laced" with) a psychiatric or psychoactive drug.
