Sally rumages in her drawer. She sits at the table writing; she writes,"Dear Sir,"<BR><BR> She walks up to Charlie Brown, who is sitting on the bean bag watching t.v. She asks,"How do you spell 'Nidiot'?" He asks,"Nidiot?"<BR><BR> She replies,"I'm writing to this movie critic, and I want to tell him what I think of him."<BR><BR> Charlie Brown sits next to her as she writes,"Dear Sir, you are a nidiot!"<BR><BR> She turns to Charlie Brown and asks,"How about 'Ucklehead'?"<BR><BR> She writes,"You are also an uckelhead!!"<BR><BR> She looks at her paper and concludes,"That ought to put him in his place!" He grimaces and replies,"He'll be so impressed, he'll change his ways immediately."<BR><BR>
If she were mixing up the two epithets, she might have called him a “knidiot.”
But she probably heard someone called “an idiot,” and assumed it was “a nidiot.”
