>>I always thought a "whack job" was a hit, as in murder. And a nut was "wacky" or "wacko." << Karen - Well, perzactly. Whack does mean hit, after all. Wacky means zany or crazy. When one is talking about a person who doesn't make sense when she talks, such as Sarah Palin, as a random example, there doesn't seem to be any sense in saying she's a "whack job." It's not as if she's out to kill somebody. I do realize that I'm fighting a losing battle on this. - Allen
