Proper noun. A sarcastic term ascribed to a deranged individual who is enabled and empowered by others' ignorance and excuses. Often someone in a position of entitlement, whose privilege has gone unchecked.
A reference to Warren Zevon's 1978 album and title track, "Excitable
Boy." The song is the story of socially dysfunctional youth who's antisocial behavior is constantly written off, even as he goes on to rape and kill and young woman.
Lyrics:
Well, he went down to dinner in his Sunday best
Excitable
boy, they all said
And he rubbed the pot roast all over his chest
Excitable
boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable
boyHe took in the four a.m. show at the Clark
Excitable
boy, they all said
And he bit the usherette's leg in the dark
Excitable
boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable
boyHe took little Suzie to the Junior Prom
Excitable
boy, they all said
And he raped her and killed her, then he took her home
Excitable
boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable
boy
After ten long years they let him out of the home
Excitable
boy, they all said
And he dug up her grave and built a cage with her bones
Excitable
boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy
Jen: Did you hear what that crazy White-Nationalist
asshole said on the news about 'taking the country back'?
Carl: Yeah, such an Excitable
Boy.
