NOUN
informal
a silly or foolish person:
"she has no patience with the upper-class twit her parents try to match her with" · [more]
synonyms:
fool · idiot · halfwit · nincompoop · blockhead · buffoon · dunce · dolt · [more]

I never could understand why Muskrat changed the name of this platform, it was well engrained into the American landscape. He just simply cost himself a ton of money, which serves him right.
