I wonder how much harassment this person gets on a daily basis. Needs a Q&A

Off topic, but what does a muck mean? Google Translate translates it to "mud pool" in my native language.

The word is actually spelled "amok" and it means something that behaves wildly/without control.

Generally the context it is used in is that something or someone is running amok. Which means going crazy and/or breaking shit.

It was a typo... Look up 'amok'. Basically running amok is running around crazy...

I learned something new about it too. Was wondering why it wasn't used elsewhere...

Amok, or running amok, is derived from the Malay word mengamok, which means to make a furious and desperate charge. Captain Cook is credited with making the first outside observations and recordings of amok in the Malay tribesmen in 1770 during his around-the-world voyage.
