Do you see the irony in this?
YES! You answered to your name!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No. In the Warner Bros. cartoons that gave rise to this expression, Bugs
Bunny would say "What a maroon!" in an attempt to call someone else stupid,
not realizing that "maroon" is a mispronunciation of "moron." Thus, he
demonstrated that he was stupid by trying to call someone else stupid.
Now do you see the irony?
