The term "Nimrod" originally referred to a biblical figure known as a skilled hunter. However, in the early 1990s, it gained a negative connotation largely due to its use in the animated television show "Looney Tunes," where Bugs Bunny mockingly referred to the dimwitted Elmer Fudd as a "Nimrod." This ironic usage transformed the term into a label for someone perceived as foolish or incompetent, diverging significantly from its original meaning.
