46. Q15. ID X.
X, a derogatory word that has now come to refer to a foolish person, didn't always
have such a meaning. Originally, it was used to mean 'skilled hunter' as X comes
from the Biblical name of a great-grandson of Noah who was a great hunter.
However, according to some, this term was used in the early episodes of Bugs
Bunny, the titular character using X as a sarcastic insult whenever he foils the
plans of his arch nemesis, the hunter Elmer Fudd. But due to the ignorance of the
actual meaning of X, the populace took the insult to be a literal term, referring to
someone foolish - thus giving birth to its modern meaning. However, another
theory suggests that X was involved in the Tower of Babel and his participation in
the foolish endeavour gives the modern meaning. Whatever gives the modern
meaning, ID X.
