Word of the Day: Nut job
Today’s Word of the Day has been in the news recently.
Apparently, according to the ‘fake’ news, President Trump told the Russians that the former director of the FBI, James Comey, was a ‘…real nut job…’
So, what does that mean?
Well, first of all, calling someone a nut job is not a very friendly or polite thing to do.
When the President of the United States uses it to refer to you, the impoliteness is magnified many times.
A nut job is a crazy or mentally unbalanced person.
An individual doing bizarre things, such as driving wildly, saying strange things, or acting weird all the time, would fit the definition.
So there you go, straight from the mouth of POTUS.
My apologies to you, Mr. Horse. I did not want to offend any humans by using their pictures for this post.
