lol, reminds me of how Nimrod turned from a great hunter mentioned in the Bible to also another name for dumbass or fuckup.
All because of looney toons. Bugs Bunny referred to Marvin the Martian as nimrod in one short and that was all it took.
It was Elmer Fudd, he was ironically comparing him to Nimrod, a legendary hunter.
How much of a huge fucking nerd must have one of the early Poindexters been to ruin it for generations to come
I think there was a us government or cia guy named Poindexter who did a bunch of really evil stuff
It only has the meaning of nerdiness because of a cartoon character, prior to the existence of that character nobody associated it with that. Bit like Bugs Bunny turning "Nimrod" into meaning stupid, when before that it was just a Biblical king/hunter.
