Is that where you came up with your 4th word, meaning "dazed, confused; stupid, crazed"?

We have a similar word, 'dolt', here in the colonies.

I should have tried #5 as #4 instead, but 20/20 hindsight and all that.

Oh yeah, why don't you twist the knife now you're at it. A pinch of salt would be the icing on the cake! :woot:

So, they didn't use the word 'Doilt' in Krapopolis season 2?

I'm confused.

ps. 'Salt' in Scottish Gaelic is 'Salann'.

Now you've gotten me started......
O seadh, carson nach tionndaidh thu an sgian a-nis 's tu air?
Bhiodh prìne salainn na icing air a' chèic!

I used to love learning new languages.
Did you know that my name 'OmCheeto' means 'I know nothing' in Cantonese?
Or as you might say; 'ik veek niets'.
Emphasis on 'might', as I have no idea what you are learning from Krapopolis.
 
  • #8,035
I'm pretty sure it's impossible to learn anything from Krapopolis (except maybe "insanstupity"). American Dad is a Mensa candle compared.
