Is that the opposite of erotic? Someone who makes mistakes over and over would hardly be a turn on. - petaj, 2007-06-07: 08:21:00

...unless the mistake involved alcohol and leaving really really early before you woke up. Or so my friend says. - jadenguy, 2007-06-07: 09:05:00

Since they spent all their time killing off their brain cells with beer parties, they were the only students to leave school dumber than when they started.

Etymology: stupid: tending to make poor decisions or careless mistakes + repetitition: repeating "Stupid is as stupid does" is a line from the movie Forrest Gump.

Pronunciation: ree bone air

Sentence: Pete Ayr was one absent-minded dude. Since his attention span was zip and he never paid attention to what he was doing, he programmed himself to rebonerr regularly. He always lost keys, forgot what to do and generally spent his days in a vortex of making goofy mistakes, from which he learned nothing. He was not always this way. His distraction was not due to chemical abuse, dementia or stupidity, but more plausibly due to being in love. He had met the woman of his dreams, Jill, and since then his head was in a swirl. His rebonerr was charming but at times annoying to Jill. As a result of his behaviour, she nick-named him Re-Pete Ayr. I guess that was better than being called Fatal Ayr.

Etymology: re (do again); boner (stupid, embarrassing mistake); err (to make a mistake or be incorrect) rhymes with debonair(having a sophisticated charm-NOT!)
