Also means
scatter-brained
Usage Note
Alocado describes someone who acts recklessly or impulsively, without thinking — similar to 'harebrained' or 'reckless'. It derives from loco (mad) with the prefix a-. It is generally less severe than loco and often carries an affectionate or amused tone: es un poco alocado means he is a bit of a wild one.
Examples
"Es un chico simpático pero muy alocado."
Natural Translation
He is a nice boy but very wild.
