The word Stupid

The word Stupid, 'A lack of intelligence or common sense, ' Is now being used entirely different from that of the original definition. When the word "stupid" is being used, it is commonly used to discourage someone, usually to mean someone is dumb, foolish, obtuse, fatuous, etc. Now when you hear the word 'Stupid' the word can be meant as something or someone is Interesting, amusing, entertaining and so on.
In short, for someone to say "Yo those sneakers are stupid!" Can actually mean the Sneakers are very nice; or for a more oxymoron approach, for someone to say " You're stupid smart," actually means you're very smart. Mainly the way you use the word stupid is in correlation in what you and your peers are doing. Calling someone stupid when they're crossing through a highway will have a significantly different meaning than when the word stupid is being used when you receive an A or you exam. The word "Stupid" is now used to have either an encouraging or discouraging affect amongst your peers.

  3. Thanks for adding these. I reformatted to clean up the text and must have deleted the names in the process.
