Tool

Let's keep it simple. "Tool" is simply a re-Anglicization of the Yiddish slang "Putz" which means the same as the original American slang term "Dick" in both its direct literal and anatomical meanings and its indirect figurative ones. Any context where "Tool" works, the term "Putz" or "Dick" could be substituted. But if you did that, people would know you're a total tool.

LITERAL: "My tool feels like it's ready fall off after partying with Amber last nite."

FIGURUATIVE: "Don't invite Brett. He's such a tool. He's so fake and a jagoff loudmouth."

Tool

A tool is someone that is kind of arrogant and like a douche or an a-hole. It is not what these other definitions say. PInk uses the term in "So What", she's talking about her ex. Who is not a poser but a jerk, to her anyway.

Pink is talking about her ex in this song. He's not a "poser" hes a jerk, to her anyway.

I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright
I'm just fine
And you're a tool so
So what
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't want you tonight

tool

A human with no definable personality outside of the current cultural trends who came to be through strenuous and repeated attempts to fit in with a particular, and particularly horrible, crowd. They make a mildly annoying impression, if any at all, and are unaware of themselves and their social context. A tool can also be a douche, jackass, or Chet, but not all douches, jackasses, and Chets are tools.

I ran into Mike from high school, and yes, he's still a tool.

tool

Someone who, in a wanton nature, follows the status quo without question; even if the result of their actions undermine their character (or lack thereof).

The police officer was such a tool, he gave me a ticket for going 36 in a 35. He said, "Breaking the law is breaking the law".

Wants to be a model, and or post model type pictures on their facebook,twitter,tumblr account, talks to multiple women in the same day, has way to many friends on facebook that he has never seen in real life, is late to everything, and usually is capable of getting attention from women from their unusual ability of playing the drums very well, said the word SWAG more than three times in their life immediately classifies them as a classic tool. Or longboards everywhere because they cant drive yet / or bum a ride off a friend that day.
