Nothing to do when cornered/stealing french fries or just plain bored, the C.l.a.F. is best used. It involces a distraction, te shouting, "Crazy... LIKE A FOX!" Then headbutting them after they turn around.

A term originally derived from a conversation between a Russian and a Costa Rican describing a petite blond Hebrew girl of Gaelic Russian descent who has a phantasmagorical fascination with all things pyrotechnic. You could be called Crazy like a Fire Fox if you collect matches, collect lighters, have cute small hands adapted for playing with fire, and have a height, ideal speed, and agility perfect for fleeing fires. If you are cute, female, blond, petite, fast, agile, and are fascinated and love fire then you to could be defined as "Crazy like a Fire Fox."
