Parliament returns and Tory majority gives idiots licence to be idiots
20.6.41
We have all been in a semi-melting condition for some days past. It struck me that one minor benefit of this war is that it has broken the newspapers of their idiotic habit of making headline news out of yesterday’s weather.
The Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo (MOT), where it's currently on show, has even provided capes to prance around in and music on headphones to get visitors in the mood. But on a recent visit there was nary a dancing art savant in sight. This is a shame, since the show, organized in-house by chief curator Yuko Hasegawa, is very much worth the shlepp.

n.
- A learned person; a scholar.
- An idiot savant.
[French, learned, savant, from Old French, present participle of savoir, to know, from Vulgar Latin sapēre, from Latin sapere, to be wise.]
idiot
(ĭd'ē-ət) 
n.
- A foolish or stupid person.
- A person of profound mental retardation having a mental age below three years and generally being unable to learn connected speech or guard against common dangers. The term belongs to a classification system no longer in use and is now considered offensive.
[Middle English, ignorant person, from Old French idiote, from Latin idiōta, from Greek idiōtēs, private person, layman, from idios, own, private.] 此字古希臘指"只重私事，不重公共事務的人。" (貶意)
Origin
Middle English (denoting a person of low intelligence): via Old French from Latin idiota 'ignorant person', from Greek idiōtēs 'private person, layman, ignorant person', from idios 'own, private'.

關鍵詞：idiot /ˈi-dē-ət/ 傻瓜、白痴
韋氏詞典的定義：dated, now offensive: a person affected with extreme mental retardation（舊稱，今為冒犯的說法：一個嚴重智障的人）；a foolish or stupid person（愚蠢的人）
Idiot這個詞來源於古希臘語idiōtēs，意思是離群寡合、不參與公共生活、不擔任任何公職的人，它的詞根idios意思是one’s own（自己、自身）。英語詞idiom（諺語、慣用語）也是從這個詞根衍生而來的，用在諸如neo-impressionist idiom（新印象派的語言）或modern jazz idiom（現代爵士樂的語彙）等地方的時候，idiom意為某個藝術形式中的特有表現方式或風格，我們從中還能窺見idios這個詞根的影子。
