what's the difference between silly and stupid?

Answer 1

Silly is funny, stupid is ignorant. Sometimes people call others silly because they really want to say stupid, but it's too rude and unaccepted in certain situations. If you are being silly, it's usually harmless fun. If you are being stupid, it is serious, and you should seek enlightenment.

Silly is the same as being funny or cute.Silly doesn't hurt anybody and usually makes us laugh.Stupid is what people do when they are doing something that doesn't make any sense to anybody but themselves.In other words they haven't given much thought if any to what they are doing.For example,a baby smiling and acting cute is being silly,whereas a person drinking while driving is being stupid.Stupid takes on many shapes and forms,it can be anything from spending money one doesn't have to a crowd of people stampeding their way out of a movie theatre.It can also be dropping our borders so we can be invaded while we're at war.That's the difference between silly and stupid.
