G is for Gormless

gormless

noun, British, informal: lacking intelligence or common-sense, dull, stupid, slow to understand

Taken from the old Norse word gaum (“heed, attention”) with the addition of  -less (“without”). 

This is one of those words that is always used in the negative. You can't be full of gorm.

Good word, though...
