Fun fact: In 1940, Bugs Bunny called Elmer Fudd a “nimrod.” He meant it sarcastically, because it means “mighty hunter,” but everyone assumed it meant he was an incompetent dope and Bugs was just more on top of the hip insults than they were. And so now, because of that one cartoon, that’s what it means.

Huh, I always assumed Bugs was calling Elmer an ancient fortress is Syria.
It’s a common misconception
