stunod

Meanings

Adjective

• Stupid or crazy; out of touch with reality; disagreeable

Noun

• A stupid or crazy person.

Origin

• Italian-American immigrant slang; dialectal. In standard Italian it would be Italian stonato ("out of tune"). However, in the late 19th and early 20th century emigrants to America did not speak the Florentine dialect that Standard Italian is based upon and instead used the Sicilian stunatu or the Neapolitan stunat'. The meaning is very similar in all three.
