All Somalis. When I see an unstable person or impulsive/eccentric/unmanageable,etc I say "waa iska sufi".

She is trying to say he is crazy
Crazy is the root meaning of the word Suufi, people that used to do a lot of abnormal stuff and engage in a lot of Bidca used to be called Suufi and today. That’s how the Suufi sect of today originated. May Alllah guide them and us Inshallah.
