Are we up for another round of stupid threads from you?

Bill played that card himself. BFD. The more he opens his mouth the more respect he loses. Besides, anyone who thinks politics is an honorable business is a moran of solar dimensions.

You know,

The pirate/mullet look simply adds to the whole experience...

Oh brother... here we go again with the tired old "Ha ha! Look, that dumb guy spelled 'moron' wrong! That's just SO funny! Let's all start spelling it wrong too! It'll be our little inside joke! We can make fun of anybody that doesn't 'get it'! Aren't we clever!" crap.

Here comes the "Fuck you, Scrutinizer, for being a dick by not going along with our little joke and making fun of us!" shit.

Well, it was actually a little inside thing among the old STNers. The older guys all knew what it meant and when the new guys came around and called someone on it, we'd all have the last laugh, when the SBNers get caught up in the joke. It's friendly. It's just guys being guys.

I'm frankly with you. (I'm even with you, frankly.) MORON seems a lot more cutting than moran. But that's just me.

How about we just use "nimrod", instead? More interesting word, and just as cutting...

Yeah, that's a good one too....except....WHAT is a nimrod, other than a biblical name? I like the sound of it.

Baldrick · 04-23-2008, 11:10 AM

Google it?

And that's exactly why I use moran. Moran.

Dear Yahoo!:
What exactly is a nimrod? Should I be offended if someone calls me one?

Dear Rodney:
We'll go ahead and answer the second part of the question first -- probably. It's possible the person may be comparing you to a mighty king and hunter of yore, but it's more likely that they're calling you a dipstick.
The American Heritage Dictionary offers two distinct definitions of a nimrod -- either a hunter, or a person regarded as silly or foolish. The dictionary goes on to explain that the second meaning probably originated with the cartoon character Bugs Bunny. The wily Bugs used the term in its original sense to refer to dithering hunter Elmer Fudd, whom he called a "poor little Nimrod." Over time, however, the "hunter" meaning got dropped, and the "dithering" connotation stuck.

Nimrod was in fact a Biblical figure -- the great-grandson of Noah. He was a haughty king who declared himself a "mighty one in the earth," founded the great city of Babylon, and presided over the construction of the mythical Tower of Babel. Nimrod was also a renowned hunter, though at least one source we found claimed his game of choice was not animals but men, whom he would enslave upon capture. Whatever his prey, his name became synonymous with a skilled hunter.

And for the record, the University of Tulsa publishes a well-regarded literary magazine called the Nimrod International Journal of Prose and Poetry. They are actively seeking submissions.

What exactly is a nimrod?
