An adjective used to describe an unintelligent and dull person. The term comes from an old European insult describing someone as being "so stupid that he could not even stop a moth from eating off his entire leg". The term was first used by the Dutch poet Simon Vestdijk in a poem that was published in a local Newspaper in 1889 and later in a published collection of poems the following year.
