  Dead ringer is an exact look a like. A clone.

  Nutter and fruitcake are terms for someone crazy.

      Not just American (I’m not American).

      Dead ringer isn’t really slang, it’s just an idiom. I’m curious what variety of English you speak?

      Nutter, nut and nutcase have been used to refer to crazy people for a lot longer than nut has been used to refer to wanking
