Examples
The hunting season is now in full bloom. Many Nimrods, both veteran and amateur, put on the shotgun set in motion in the woods after intensive training by killing mosquitoes, honeybees and cockroaches. The camping people got frightened of the Nimrod as it could be mistaken for an animal. They, on identity crisis, wrapped the whole body in white fabric looking like Mummies.
One day, this mighty Nimrod brought back three bears and four deer. Mr Mabie gripped young Nimrod’s hand with great enthusiasm. And still shaking, Mr Mabie thought, looks impressive. However, his articulation is generally getting hampered by his bulkiness.
Daily we find several Nimrods on the road that do not know how to drive? Or how to park? Or how to horn? Don’t worry when you’re saying this about somebody. Somewhere behind you, the other delivers the exact words for you.
The bottom line
I believe we all are Nimrod as all of us wear various berets. At times, we are a hunter of tangible or intangible things. At times, a jerk depends on the percentage of ego on how much openly you can confess to it or hold on tightly gripping to a dwindling candle saying to yourself; I’m intelligent of the clump.
