Tips
history
Recorded in Feng Menglong's 《喻世明言》 (late Ming): a figure walks 慌慌张张 toward a garden gate, dressed neatly but moving in a fluster. The reduplicated form was already idiomatic by the Ming.
grammar
AABB reduplication intensifies the panic. Usually adverbial with 地 (de): 慌慌张张地 + verb. Can also stand alone as a predicate: 你别慌慌张张的.
