Answer 3

Its a movie....
Not sure this helps, it didnt me!!!

.Idiocracy is a 2006 comedy film directed by Mike Judge, his second live-action feature following his 1999 cult-hit Office Space. It stars Luke Wilson and Maya Rudolph. Luke Wilson plays a supremely average guy from the year 2005, who is used as a guinea pig for a government project which places him in hibernation for 500 years. Upon waking up in the year 2505, he discovers he is now by far the smartest person in the world.

From the FilmJerk.com script review published online in January 2004:

"The film begins with a shot of Earth from space, as an announcer explains that the evolution of man, which so long relied on the process of natural selection to keep the population strong and intelligent, faltered when the smart people stopped breeding. This evolutionary change is shown in a split screen, as one yuppie couple talks about their decision to wait for the right time to have kids, while a white trash couple get hot and heavy on a couch. The right side of the screen splits into four smaller frames, as the white trash couple starts having kids, as the yuppie couple on their left, now slightly older, talk about their prosperity. More little screens pop up on the right, as the white trash couple realizes they can get more from welfare and more food stamps if they have more children. As time moves on, the right side increases exponentially, as the white trash younglings start to grow up and start multiplying like rabbits on their own. The right side becomes so crowded, it starts to push into the left side of the screen, until the yuppie woman, who by the time she is in her fifties is widowed and childless, is forced into oblivion by the ever growing generations of dumb-asses."

Answer 4

"Sure, there are some things I've done that I regret. But a president doesn't get do-overs." George W. Bush when asked if he has made some mistakes in his term of office.

I used the word "do-over" back in grade school. I'm not in grade school any more. To use such a term with regard to loss of human life in war must make the families of the dead soldiers feel much relief that their loved ones did not die in vain. (Sarcasm intended.)

Answer 5

Idiot + crazy. The idiocracy of ideals having a semblance of normality and craziness.

Answer 6

An "ideocracy" is a society "which builds a social order on an all-embracing theory" (http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/gellner/East.html).

An "idiocracy" is a society which builds social order on the premise that any idiot's theory is equal and valid, especially if said idiot has money (cough, Tom Cruise and most politicians, cough). (this one's my own)

Answer 7

Answer 9

This word reminds me the word "idiosyncrasy", a Greek word that refers to the way that someone behaves and thinks. I hope this helps.
