Going akka

Going akka is a term used to implicate a state of hyperactivity or euphoric rage/disgust, often brought on by heavy cocodamol use. It can be used to describe a positive or negative state; "I was down the L.A. and I went f**king akka" would suggest a positive state, akka meaning going wild/partying madly or having fun in this instance. On the other hand "If that fat bitch looks at me one more time, I'm gonna go f**king akka" suggests a negative state. Akka meaning getting upset, flipping out or becoming enraged and possibly fighting.
Scientists inform that 'going akka' often can lead to heightened aggression, therefore raising blood pressure and putting a strain on minor blood vessels. Prescribed painkillers, such as cocodamol can hinder/subdue the bursts of 'akka', or they can make them more frequent and intense. Police warn it is very dangerous to be around someone when they are 'going akka'.
In music, 'going akka' can be used to describe a certain part of a track when the sounds of the song mash-up, to aurally blow listeners minds. Usually, this 'going akka' of music occurs generally in genres such as Techno Industrial, Trance, Dubstep or Drum & Bass although Rock, Metal and even simple Dance tracks can also be said to go 'very akka' sometimes. Recreational narcotics use increases the chance of percieving a song as having 'gone akka'.
Going Akka' in the media
In a 1994 interview, British actor and God Alan Rickman (a.k.a Ricky, Al, The God, A.R., The Ricker Man) recalled 'going akka' in his role as Hans Gruber in Hollywood blockbuster 'Die Hard'. In a similar interview, Co-star Bruce Willis explained that his colleagues on-screen behaviour was due to his frequent recreational Cocodamol use. Alan Rickman also described how he 'goes akka' if he does not have time to practice his Alexander Techniques in the morning, his frustrations often resulting in beating postmen, throwing breakfast bowls at his wife or smashing antique chefs outside clubs, pubs and restaurants to pieces.
Gillian Yates, Dramatist, also 'went akka' when her direction in a recent Bekettian performance went to her head and she deludedly thought it was the greatest show since 'Oliver Twist' at te West End. However it simply wasn't and she then 'went akka' about how it should have won an Oscar. Jeremy Iron's last week said that "Samuel Beckett would certainly turn in his grave, if only he knew what that woman has done".
