Nincompoop
May 21, 2008
What an interesting word!
Meaning – a fool, a stupid person whose incompetence or naivety is quite apparent. Often used to describe people of a much lower social ranking, and with some describing an unpopular or incompetent leader as an “utter nincompoop”. It’s just a shame that nobody seems to quite know the origin of the word for certain.
