The meaning of "stupid" Written by Line (5/1/2007 6:54 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, complex language, penned by Becky K

I'm not entirely sure about this, but I think "stupid" used to have another meaning besides "unintelligent". I think it also meant something like "dull", "boring" or "insipid". Perhaps someone with a copy of Johnson's Dictionary can help us out?
