According to Merriam Webster Online the word stupid appears to have originated in 1541. Imagine this, before 1541 nobody was stupid! This sounds very nice, but then I get a little sad because of 1541 and the introduction of the word stupid. Who was the first person officially known as stupid? Did this bother the person to be called stupid? Happy thought, perhaps this person was so stupid he or she didn't know that being called stupid was not a compliment.
