I would like to give a comment on Cecil Adam’s name-calling, which I find very amusing.
Names that Cecil Adams have used:
[ul]
[li]birdbrain[/li][li]chum (used in a sarcastic manner)[/li][li]muttonhead[/li][/ul]
The name-calling is usually followed by long explanations, though. I find the existence of having a word that is typically used to make fun of someone and a detailed, factual explanation paradoxical and therefore amusing. I appreciate the factual explanations, but the name-calling makes the whole response loaded with sarcastic humor.
