: : : O.K.  Miss Kate,  Now how 'bout you let me in on this.  Have I missed something on Day 1 (Gathering)  when Mama Marcia was doin' all her explaining of this board?

: : : What is "Numpty" ?   And....sorry, but never heard of Doofus neither!

: : Oh, Ann, you sheltered child, you!  As an older, wiser Mama, I know some of these worldly terms that you aren't familiar with.   A Doofus, my dear, is...ummmm....ah...how shall I say this delicately...A JERK.  A BOZO.  A NERD.    But now, a NUMPTY doofus...well that's a whole 'nuther animal.  ( I WAS going to say that Miss Katie was too ladylike to tell you that a Numpty Doofus is a Doofus of Ill Repute, but as innocent as you are, you might believe me!)  What would the nearest American slang be, Kate...dummy?  Something on that order, Ann.  That's all.  And I never heard the word before last night, either, so don't feel bad.  (Numpty, not Doofus. Doofus I've known forever!  And BEEN forever!)

: : Clear it up any?

: Gals!

: Would *I*, a lady of gentile, European cultured breeding, use language which could mistakenly be taken for common, ill bred slang, and which would mean 'someone of ill repute'?!! And, anyway, what would *I* know of ill-repute!! I am a *professional* person!! My 'business' is 'bedding'!! And darned good I am at my business!!! 

: Well, ...I guess the closest definition of a 'numpty' would be a 'wazzick', in English - an 'eejit' in good ole Scots dialect! 
: Clear it up any? 

: :0)
: Kate.
