20 - Stupid

Full transcript here 👋 Hey, good morning, good afternoon, good evening. This is your life. This is your chance. Listen. The word for today is stupid, and it’s going into the lexical meat grinder. This may seem like a playground word, but I guarantee that it’s hurtful when you angrily call someone stupid. No one enjoys having their intellect demeaned. I noticed one day that my friend Kyle said something was silly when he would have previously said stupid. This small act taught me that silly is a good substitute for stupid. It allows you to call something into question in a less aggressive way. Today’s concrete challenge is to switch to the word silly. When you want to say that something or someone is stupid, dim, dumb, foolish, dull-witted, slow-witted, witless, slow, dunce-like, simpleminded, empty-headed, vacuous, vapid, halfwitted, idiotic, moronic, muttonheaded, daft, barmy, not the full shilling, or thick as two short planks, try using silly instead. Let me know how it goes at concrete.win/today. Check back tomorrow for a new challenge. Until then. References: Meat grinder sound
