Well then, you should have been prepared to rebut my point. For you see, the us - i plural only applies to words with greek roots. Doofus is a colloquialism derived from the earlier 'goofus' from 'goof', which is from the obsolete French, 'goffe' (stupid). Or possibly the Middle English 'goffen' (to speak in a frivolous manner), from the Old English 'gegaff' (buffoonery) and 'gaffetung' (scolding). Either way, not greek.Reveille said:I had a feeling you'd try to correct me in this manner.![]()

Whoops. I mean. . . so, how about that weather. It's been raining here. I understand that in Spain, despite all rumors to the contrary, the rain stays almost invariably in the hills.
