What does BOZO mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalNorth American
A stupid or clumsy person.
Bozo is American and older than the clown it is usually traced to: it was in print in the 1920s meaning simply a fellow, and narrowed to a fool only later. The insult stays mild — calling somebody a bozo says they are ridiculous rather than wicked — which is why it survives in speech that avoids stronger words.
