And The Word Is . . .

Today's new word is Cidiot -

Cid•i•ot - pronounced sih•dee•ut

Noun

A stupid person who comes from, and dwells within, urban or suburbanized  areas and is so far removed from our country's agrarian roots and rural zip codes that they believe the food they buy at the grocery store actually, magically originates at the grocery store.

It further goes without saying that this is also a group of people who cannot distinguish the difference between a hay rake and a hoe handle. These people are not constrained by any regional or territorial boundaries, appear to be otherwise normal by all accounts and may even interact with you on a daily basis, while leaving no clues as to their condition.

The time they most draw attention to themselves is when they move to small midwest towns or into the country to get away from the stresses of 21st century life, where, many times, they are deemed to be functionally illiterate.  Moving out into farm country to live the good life and then complaining about the smell of their new neighbor's dairy barn also tends to drop their IQ by a few points, at least as perceived by their genuinely rural counterparts.
