Our grandkids were over yesterday and my husband said ‘nincompoop’. He asked the grandson if he knew what a nincompoop is. Grandkid said yes because he watches America’s Funniest Videos. Ahhh! TV.
Not all languages can interchange nouns, verbs, and adjectives as easily as English. And that’s a good thing, because otherwise we could neither walk the walk nor talk the talk.

Words, wonderful words, which sometimes separate generations.

A nincompoop is not only an old fool, and its origin vastly predates anyone in this comic.
