Find a word "related" to the word D A F T

Question

DAFT

The idea is to find an English word or phrase or idiom "related" to the word "daft" – adjective

and

write a simple sentence in English and Spanish for that word.

Example:

It’s daft to get up so early.

Es una bobada levantarse tan pronto

He is as daft as a brush (idiom)

........

Pictures would be nice.

Mariana has kindly agreed to be the “official” corrector of the Spanish.

I think I can manage being the “unofficial” corrector for the English, je je

Here is the previous challenge

Como siempre, ian, gracias para estas ideas, tan estupendas. - annierats, Dec 2, 2011

Pity you're going barmy, but very kind of you to accept my answer, Ian. - annierats, Dec 4, 2011

Answer 1

Well, it's ridiculous that I have to find the time to do this, it's absurd, it makes no sense at all. I'm clearly a foolish woman, the task is obtuse. Obtuse is not the same obese, that's a consolation for us nitwits, unless we're obese as well. I hope this clarifies the situation for other old bats, who may be a sandwich short of the full picnic..If this doesn't make sense, I recommend you have a day off with the fairies. That will bring your fatuitous minds back to order.

truly, ian, I'm busy so I've made short, sharp reply in a manner suited to boneheads. - annierats, Dec 2, 2011

Good to see you're still as mad as a hatter... :) - pesta, Dec 2, 2011

Ah, thank you pesta, us nanas have to stick together. Don't show the grammaticans this response.. - annierats, Dec 2, 2011

The correct expression is: As people slightly wanting, we have to stick together, remember that. - annierats, Dec 2, 2011

Who you calling wanting :) - ian-hill, Dec 2, 2011

"I resemble that remark!!!!" - Curly, of The Three Stooges. - pesta, Dec 2, 2011

Sorry, wanting may be too insulting..Maybe: A bit peculiar? If that takes your fancy? - annierats, Dec 2, 2011

Thank you Ian for accepting this answer, clearly you're going nuts as well. - annierats, Dec 4, 2011
