Your blog was referring to the play of words in todays society…the time frame of this blog just to happened to be the same time the President referred to the law enforcement issue with Gates as acting stupidly…then a retraction of what stupidly meant was issued … I thought the definition would be of service to anyone that was unclear on what stupidly meant.
Sorry to have stumped the best minds in America, but it is the job of American wives to always confuse our husbands…

I have “gazed stupidly” at your comment for the last 45 minutes and I have yet figured out what it means. I called a friend of mine that is a crytographic expert with the code-breaking department of the CIA and he was left blubbering something about “woman-speak” and hung up on me. I then contacted one of my old anthropology professors who specializes in Egyptian hieroglyphics. When I e-mailed your comment to him, he said he had experienced this form of expression in ancient cultures that seemingly had logical structure, but made no sense what-so-ever. He to, was unable to translate.
Having stumped some of the best minds in American academia, I can only assume that you are a person who can use superior intellectual powers to drive people crazy simply by making a comment. In other words, you must be a wife.

And, I have no idea what to say about that.

stu·pid·ly [ stpədlee ]
adverb
Definition:

1. in unintelligent way: in a way that demonstrates lack of intelligence, perception, or common sense
I had stupidly forgotten to note down the date I mailed it.

2. in bewilderment: in a way that suggests diminished ability to perceive or reason
He gazed stupidly after her.

Hmmmmmmmmm, was this a play of words??
