Stupid

[azureline**]

I have always tried not to use that word, as the definition can sometimes show as lack of intelligence (which is not the fault of the unintelligent person)

In fact my grandchildren think it is a naughty, bad word.

I find myself muttering it more and more lately though, one day I may actually say it out loud. Some of these words I would never use.

If I kick my toe because I didn't have shoes on, I would think how stupid I was....................if I put washing in the machine and forget to turn it on.................etc.

What do you think when you say Stupid?

Well I must be stupid because I always thought it was correct to say more stupid, not stupider.  😄

What do you think when you say Stupid?

My own personal definition is, unthinking or uncaring, when        

I am thinking about other people.

When I call myself stoopy I really mean brainless and inwardly    

face slap and go doh!

But it's a word that I very rarely use anyway.

I probably think it, more than say it.

edit:   I'm with gleee,  where did  'stupider'  come from?

[lurker172602]

I don't think people, as such, are stupid. I think sometimes they do stupid things.

[kopenhagen5]

Every time I see someone driving like an idiot, I find myself shaking my head thinking Stuuuupid.

Yes, I think so.

More stupid, Stupider and stupidest................

I thought they were all  correct.

Could you be any more stupid?

That's the stupidest thing I have ever seen.

If it was any stupider I would cry.

[twinkles**stars]

So maybe I should stupid instead of idiot?
