Scumbria... >>I'm stupid and asinine.<< I knew you were confused. Why would I want to reply to someone that makes a fool of himself by calling himself, "stupid"? Now it would be different if I called you stupid, which I didn't and won't... come to think of it why should I. Even if I wanted to, which I don't, you've already done it for me. Maybe you just don't understand what the word stupid means so here's a little help... 1.Slow to learn or understand; obtuse. 2.Lacking or marked by a lack of intelligence. 3.In a stupor; stupefied. 4.In a dazed or stunned state. 5.Pointless; worthless: a stupid job. A person regarded as stupid. Latin stupidus, from stupre, to be stunned. stupid·ly adv. stupid·ness n. Synonyms: stupid, slow, dumb, dull, obtuse, dense. These adjectives mean lacking or marked by a lack of intellectual acuity. Stupid, the most inclusive, means wanting in intelligence: Despite a lack of formal education, she was far from stupid. Slow and dumb imply chronic sluggishness of perception, reaction, or understanding: The school offers special tutorials for slow learners. It was dumb of him to say yes. Dull suggests a lack of keenness of intellect: “It is the dull man who is always sure” (H.L. Mencken). Obtuse implies a lack of quickness, sensitivity, or perceptiveness: At the time, I was too obtuse to grasp the true implications of her behavior. Dense suggests impenetrability of mind: The woman kept signaling that it was time to leave, but her escort was so dense that he just kept sitting there. There now that you know what the word stupid means perhaps you won't call yourself stupid anymore. But you do have to continue to work on your percentages.
