The most bizarre 'benefit' of CypherPunk list to foreign people like me is learning new bad words and adjetives almost all the weeks... :P
Already knowed 'obtuse' because its writting and sound remembers a lot 'obtuso' in Portuguese. The word is used the same way here.
It's a pity to learn that 'Schmuck' is a bad word. It's a cute word, sounds pretty good and it would be a great name to some food or my future pet. Meh! :(
