A general term for individuals that act like idiots lack common sense, or are making a fool of themself.

May also be used as a variation of Buffoon.

The two states of being are as a human being, or a hungry ghost. Semi-regularly you need to ask yourself which you are. Sometimes it is human. Others, alas, it is hungry ghost.

The hungry ghost seeks validity outside of themselves. Someone pining for an indifferent ex is a hungry ghost. Someone who arrives alone at 6:30 on Saturday night to a pub is probably a hungry ghost. Obsessive checking of mobile phones, chat sites or networks are clear signs that one is a hungry ghost.

The best thing to do is just stay home and ride it out. Read a book. Find some good clean fun.

1. A male underserving of any respect.
2. A fuckup; an idiot; a boner.

foo-nER
The melding of the words "food" and "boner"; becoming lustfully erotic even at the mere thought of food.
