Naomi, This time I will not venture a guess as to why the links are not working for you . . . anyone else having problems with my links?
Here's a possible alternative route to the
Numpty link. Urban dictionary hosts a variety of �definitions� as provided by the common �street-wise intellegencia�. The original link pointed to the first definition listed there:
1. Numpty 679 up, 69 down
Scottish usage:
a) Someone who (sometimes unwittingly) by speech or action demonstrates a lack of knowledge or misconception of a particular subject or situation to the amusement of others.
b) A good humoured admonition, a term of endearment
c) A reckless, absent minded or unwise person
a) "No. That wisnae wit she meant, ya big numpty!"
b) i.e. "Silly billy", "You big dafty"
c) "That numpty's driving with no lights on!"
