Beyondhelp I am not asking for the dictionary meaning, I am asking for your personal meaning.

How do YOU define an idiot?

If you do in fact mean "how do you define an idiot?" and not '"how do you define "idiot"?', I guess you have to set him up in some kind of situation where he will do something so monumentally retarded that he will be branded an idiot henceforth. :LOL:
