Mia culpa: I just looked it up and find that "stupid" is also a noun (=
blockhead, etc), and this in a rather old dictionary. It's not just a
proper noun (Hey! Stupid!).

m-w lists it only as an adjective, unless I missed something.

It's also a noun in the F&W College Standard Dict.

Re 1149: "a stupid person" is the definition of "stupid" the noun,
not an example of its usage. Relax.
Re 1153: the noun definition of "stupid" is on the www.m-w.com site
as the second defn. I looked it up before I scored it.

(...using the word to define the word can be a cause of miscomprehension)

Good word! I think this item is getting a bit long, so I'm going to start
a new one.
