And I like the comparison to silly, goofball and idiot. Good post.

It is definitely not as benign as "silly" and is hardly meant that way. <br /><br />Oddly I don't mind the word when it is used to describe someone's actual processing because then it is not being used as an insult. <br /><br />Anyway, good luck with your mission to take the stigma out of the word. I would love to see that day :-)TUChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929114678006935831noreply@blogger.com
