The word of the day
If Pee Wee Herman can have one, dammit, so can we – a word of the day.
Over a few Don Q and Cokes this morning, I mean, this afternoon (which one of the 12 steps were we on yesterday?), we were discussing intelligence and stupidity.
Of course, stupidity, much like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder i.e. “When I be holdin’ dis beer yew sher seem cute/smart.” The discussion panel decided that sometimes “smart” people do stupid things – like locking their keys in the car while it’s still running or running out of TP and having to use paper towels (oh come on, you’ve done it, and by the way Smartypants, where’s your degree from?). Other times “retarded” people do smart things – like Forrest Gump investing in Apple computers or the shrimping business. Hey, it’s better to be lucky than good. Anyway, today’s word of the day isn’t even a real word – yet. It’s a hybrid of the words smart and retarded. Without further ado, today’s word is…
resmarded – adj. slang. used to describe a person or act that is a strange blend of intelligence and stupidity. Example: Larry is so resmarded, he has a PhD in physics but he couldn’t open the door at the bank because he was pushing on it when the sign clearly said “pull.”
variant:
resmard – n. slang. a person who seems both smart and retarded. Example: Did you hear what Larry did at the bank? He’s such a resmard.
