Reply to comment by DefiantStomp in TIL the term “cloud cuckoo land” goes back to the Ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes, who used it for a utopian city of birds in his farce, the Birds by Mr_Westerfield
In the US people say cuckoo land but leave out cloud.

Ya I’ve heard “cuckoo crazy” or for the most part just cuckoo. Never heard anything else.
