Another fairly common throat infection is tonsillitis, which occurs when you have sore, swollen tonsils. Itâs caused by many of the same viruses and bacteria that cause sore throats. If you have frequent bouts of tonsillitis or strep throat, you may need surgery (called a tonsillectomy) to have your tonsils removed.
Proverb[edit] stupid is as stupid does. A person's lack of intelligence may be judged by the lack of wisdom of his or her actions.
Dumb is a related term of dummy. From (etyl) dumb, from (etyl) . In ordinary spoken English, a phrase like He is dumb is interpreted as He is stupid rather than He lacks the power of speech. The latter example, however, is the original sense of the word.
