If something has a substantially higher cost than the materials that went into it, it has a high idiot index, according to Elon Musk. High idiot index items are usually overly complicated to manufacture. This is a term he used internally at his companies, according to his biography written by Walter Isaacson.

"This rocket valve costs $50,000 despite it being made of $200 of steel and similar car parts costing $500. It has a very high idiot index."

idiot shivers

A full body shiver that occurs immediately after doing something really stupid that should result in serious injury or death, but without any negative consequences. Often occurs while driving.

After running the red light and nearly getting t-boned by a semi, I immediately felt idiot shivers.
