One who makes foolish decisions. A useless map-reader. A driver of excessive speed on an unsafe road. One who fails in many areas of life, try as he might. One who is prepared to stick to their guns... even though they know they are wrong.
As in a parental warning...
'Mind him... He's a bit of a stemper'.

Or

When hitting one's thumb with a large type hammer one may inoffensively shout..... "STEMPER!"

sic semper tyrannis

Latin, translation: "Thus always to tyrants", purportedly (but unlikely) uttered by Brutus at the assassination of Julius Caesar. The phrase is meant to signify that tyrants will always be overthrown and removed from power.

The other person who defined this just got it flat out wrong. Didn't think people could be that stupid.
Sic semper tyrannis.
