Too much of that story just doesn't seem plausible.

I am in my early 30s and I am sorry to say I think this is something my generation and maybe people a few years older started. As far as I know the first time I heard it was in the early-mid 90s during my 8th grade or freshmen year. I think it was one of those things that spawned off from grunge culture but I could be wrong.

I am sorry to also say that we used the term as a form of hazing to kids who were loaners and followers who tried to enter our groups or cliques without knowing us.

There are a myriad of definitions that a google search will bring up but generally is to be interpreted as..."idiot"

I do seem to recall the term showing up in the early 90's when I started college.

Most anti's would certainly fit the "tool" label as they mindlessly parrot the Brady talking points hoping it will gain them more acceptance into whatever sorority it is they're after.

Our hapless subject clearly wants to be in the "cool carry guy" clique a little too hard and has turned himself into a complete "tool" for the anti's. While he was criminally stupid I don't think he broke any actual laws. Hopefully he will mellow out but probably not. Perhaps if he keeps shooting his mouth off at the range he'll get enough constructive comments and ostracism and realize what a maroon he's being. Usually worked with me...

I gotta think he's a complete tool.

2: For bragging about it at the range

Someone didn't get enough attention from mommy.
