Don't be such a...

One of my coworkers did something today that frustrated me greatly, and in the privacy of my own office I called her an idiot. When I thought about it, I felt that perhaps that was a bit strong. One isolated mistake does not necessarily make one an idiot. Of course, it doesn't eliminate the possibility either. When I had calmed down a bit, I realized that this person wasn't really an idiot, at least not all of the time, so the term was inaccurate to describe her. She's more of an intermittent idiot, someone with tendencies toward stupid decisions, but one who also possess the ability to function normally (i.e. more like me!) in everyday life. I needed another description for her mental capabilities. She's not really an idiot, but close. Sort of a mid-level idiot. Call her...a midiot. It's a term that can be used for those relatively smart people that lack common sense, for anyone who's ever been told that he's pretty dumb for a smart guy.
