DC Tom Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Today I learned that the insult "nimrod" comes from the Book of Genesis referring to the Assyrian King Tukulti-Ninurta I as "Nimrod," renown as "a mighty hunter before the Lord." It only entered the American lexicon as an epithet meaning "stupid, dull-witted person" in 1942, when Bugs Bunny called Elmer Fudd a "poor little Nimrod" in the theatrical short "Fresh Hare." Biblical myths of Assyrian kings, perverted by Merrie Melodies. Gotta love American culture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
