Word of the Day: Numbnuts

Trying saying this one quickly three times. Numbnuts! Numbnuts! Numbnuts!

In my slightly deranged little mind, I find the word 'numbnuts' to be hilarious. I can't explain why. Perhaps because it just sounds so ridiculous. Seriously, you say it with a straight face. We can look over at Bailey and say: "Hey numbnuts! What's happening? What? Oh, that's right. You've got no nuts. Sorry Man."

Ok, yes, that was mean. Our poor, ever-suffering dog. I promise we don't say that [very frequently]. Anyway, on to the definitions:


Etymology:
numb + nuts
Noun
Singular: numbnuts
Plural: numbnuts

1. (mainly US, slang, derogatory, sometimes jocular) A slow-witted, unresponsive, or inept person (usually male).


Tell numbnuts over there to wake up and pay attention to his work.

2. (US, military, slang, derogatory) A recruit who is unintelligent or difficult to train.

The drill instructor must have called him "numbnuts" fifty times today.
