[Gandalf_The_Gray]

You wouldn’t believe some of the nimrods I’ve seen on jury duty.

True, but still an insult to "Nimrod" the great and mighty King.

I always wondered how and why "Nimrod" came to be used as a slang for "idiot." Is it just because it sounds something like Nincompoop?

It used to be that great white hunters would be called "Nimrod" as a term of praise, fitting with the Biblical King's reputation.
