kovidiot


Definition from Bljesak info:
Osoba koja ignorira jednostavne upute i stalvja živote drugih u opasnost.

Example sentence(s):
  • Na stranici Urban Dictionary se tako pojavio novi termin - kovidiot (covidiot), a označava ljude koji ignoriraju zdrav razum i savjete da ne putuju i da se nepotrebno ne socijaliziraju te one koji panično kupuju i gomilaju toaletni papir, sredstva za dezinficiranje i zaštitne maske. Isto tako, termin se zapravo odnosi na bilo koga tko ovu globalnu zdravstvenu krizu ne shvaća ozbiljno, bez obzira je li riječ o običnom čovjeku, političaru ili nekom trećem. Jedna od zanimljivijih definicija termina kovidiot glasi: Tupavo stvorenje koje ignorira jednostavne upute i stalvja živote drugih u opasnost. Isto tako, glupan/glupača koji se ne informira iz vjerodostojnog izvora i koji se bavi glupim mjerama opreza poput gomilanja potrepština. - Bljesak.info  
  • Jedna od zanimljivijih definicija termina kovidiot glasi: Osoba koja ignorira jednostavne upute i stavlja živote drugih u opasnost. - Nedjelja.ba
