IDIOT, n.

A member of a large and powerful tribe whose influence in human affairs has always been dominant and controlling. The Idiot's activity is not confined to any special field of thought or action, but "pervades and regulates the whole." He has the last word in everything; his decision is unappealable. He sets the fashions and opinion of taste, dictates the limitations of speech and circumscribes conduct with a dead-line.

The sea of idiots is vast indeed.

Get the IDIOT, n.mug.

status idiot

A person that updates their facebook status with information readers know to be untrue, overtly obvious, or showing a lack of common sense.

"Stacy's facebook status says she's got a paper due today that she completely forgot about."

"Hmm. At the party last night she kept complaining about having to write it."

"What a status idiot."

Get the status idiotmug.

band of idiots

A group of people trying to work together as a team but failing miserably because they are each so obsessed with their own goals that their failure is worse than if they were alone. Like an orchestra of people with no conductor, no sheet music and none of them know how to play their instruments but they are intent on playing as hard as they can. Opposite of synergy. The sum of the parts is less than one of the parts.

I had no idea just how obsessed they were and the extreme obsession with what they were trying to do but how badly they failed. It was a band of idiots.
