#2 Nimrod is not a put-down. It is a nickname for a hunter from a character in the book of Genesis.
Unless you don't like hunters.

#4 Urako the Wacko,

What in the hell are you talking about?
Nimrod was the grandson of Noah. He was the King Babylon. He was the king that ordered the tower of Babel to be built. After he died, his wife forced everyone to celebrate his spiritual resurrection, you know the pagan ritual, Easter.

Not to be confused with the resurrection of Jesus on the thrid day.

#7 Poison Reverse:
"Urako the Wacko, What in the hell are you talking about?"
I believe I'm talking about the same thing as you, just not as rudely.
Here's Merriam-Websters take:
Nimrod
1 : a descendant of Ham represented in Genesis as a mighty hunter and a king of Shinar
2 : HUNTER
So calling someone a nimrod is not a put-down.
I just didn't want to bore everyone with the whole tale like you did.
But I must admit, you do have much more class than I.

#8 Glad I read the article because I thought Jerry Rubin got killed in a pedestrian accident--he was the pedestrian. Thought I was living in the Twilight Zone there for a minute.

I prefer "dipwad" to Nimrod. Gets rid of all the nuances and Biblical connotations/classical literature--neither of which I was very good at. What's the old saying about throwing your pearls before swine?
