Came unglued

Answer:

WENTAPE

Hint:

["Think of a phrase meaning \"lost control emotionally\" that sounds like it involves sticky tape."]

Explanation:

"Came unglued" is a playful hint for "WENTAPE" because it combines two ideas: "went" (meaning left or moved) and "ape" (slang for going wild or losing control). The phrase "came unglued" suggests losing composure, which ties into the wild, uncontrolled behavior of an ape. The answer merges the literal and figurative meanings for a clever wordplay twist.
