Definition

A person who's not exactly operating with all cylinders firing, if you catch our drift. This vintage insult suggests someone who's easily fooled, manipulated, or just generally lacks the intellectual horsepower to avoid being someone's pawn. Think of it as calling someone a dupe with old-school charm.

Example Usage

Don't be such a stooge—they're obviously trying to scam you with that 'investment opportunity.'
