A Blockhead

Still reading THE ANATOMY OF MELANCHOLY. I've read 50 more pages since last we spoke and we're still in the introduction. He keeps calling people "dizzards"! So even though the meaning is obvious, I decided that this was a good chance to break out my giant old WEBSTER'S NEW TWENTIETH CENTURY DICTIONARY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, UNABRIDGED, SECOND EDITION from 1974. And the WEBSTER'S NEW TWENTIETH CENTURY DICTIONARY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, UNABRIDGED, SECOND EDITION from 1974 has a simple, two-word definition of dizzard: "a blockhead." I love you, WEBSTER'S NEW TWENTIETH CENTURY DICTIONARY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, UNABRIDGED, SECOND EDITION from 1974!
