Sad Sack is a cartoon character created by Sgt. George Baker in a World War II comic strip. The name originally came from soldiers describing a goldbricking or inept fellow soldier as "a sad sack of ****'. The former meaning lost usage and currency over time and the term came to be used exclusively to mean someone who means well but consistently finds himself in trouble, usually due to circumstances beyond his control, despite his good intentions.

i think of it violates the worldwide convention on Human Rights. If the US have been to alter right into a theocracy, we'd be returning to the Salem Witch Hunt, and the Roman Catholic Church's unique Inquisitions (%. one, there have been a number of, a minimum of four). Heretics have been commonly stoned to dying, boiled in tar or oil -- to dying, or drowned. the different problem is, how is one to define "sorcery" or "heresy". A rabbit's foot ability "good luck" interior the U.S. yet i assume it gets you killed in Saudi Arabia. Ever examine "The Handmaid's tale"?

No. A sadsack is someone who is woeful, and has a pessimistic view of life. They look and speak accordingly.
