Bandera de México
Bandera de Argentina

/Sounds like "sa" (as in "salsa") + "fa" (as in "father") + "do" (as in "doctor")/

Someone who's crazy, unhinged, or has a screw loose. In Mexico and Argentina, it describes a person who does wild, irrational things or says outrageous stuff without any filter. It literally means "unhinged" or "loosened," like a bolt that came undone in someone's head.

Example

"Estás bien zafado si crees que voy a saltar de ahí. -> You're totally crazy if you think I'm going to jump from there."

"Ese wey anda zafado, ayer se peleó con tres tipos. -> That dude is unhinged, yesterday he got into a fight with three guys."
