umm...yeah. But I don;t often come across the two together. Gormless = can mean dimwitted, or daft, or can mean naive or inexperienced. Wuss means wimp or weakling. The two tend not to be used together (certainly not in my experience). You;d either be called gormless, or you'd be called a wuss.

In this case: gormless :P

But to really give you that brit flavour, I'll call you a gormless bugger.

Today I went out and bought mega B12 complex stress tabs.
It says right on the label.
'Helps with occasional gormliness'

It might even help with gormlessness :P

how come we never brag about "store-bought" anymore? Or does this belong in the oldster moments thread?

Cicero · 01-23-2010, 10:26 PM

This reminds me to lay "piker" to rest. Though I am hesitant.

Bogart.

I am also reminding myself to quit saying, Awesome!

Are "cool" and "neat" or "neato" outdated slangs? I still use them. :p

Grandmother had a few unusual phrases she used.

'Dark as the inside of a cow.'

'That old guy's got enough money to burn two wet mules.'

They are most definitely 'outdated'.
