[DVBC] BONKERS -- Where did the word come from?

[GERALD BURHOP]

Bonkers is fun, Bonkers is nice,  Bonkers is never the same game twice.

 

Bonkers was a board game in the 70's.

Any etymologists out there?    I made fun of the term "bonkers" from the old
slang expression "Go Bonkers!" years ago.   

 

However, there's a street near me named Boncoeur Road.  Of course bons
coeurs is French for "good hearts"  and for bicycling -- good legs, good
lungs, and good backsides!

 

So what is the origin of the term "bonkers?"
