Dr Bill corrected my *made up defination of an ignoramus..

it was original a legal term, and then used to decribe lawyers, i apologies to football fans everywhere..

from Dr Bill:
It was so long ago that I looked this
word up that I had forgotten how 'we don't know'
got to mean 'a stupid person'.
ignoramus
1577, Anglo-Fr. legal term, from L. ignoramus "we do not know," first person present indicative of ignorare "not to know" (see ignore). The legal term was one a grand jury could write on a bill when it considered the prosecution's evidence insufficient.

Sense of "ignorant person" came from the title role of George Ruggle's 1615 play satirizing the ignorance of common lawyers


*i didn't think any one would take my defination seriously!


my other obsession
