@DeathsNitemareShepardOfHope .. When Bugs Bunny was referring to Elmer Fudd when he did something he thought was stupid, was not appropriate to say "what a moron", as it was a cartoon and this was, what late 60's? In order to avoid risking that word on a cartoon, he would say... :"what a moroon". The funny thing was, while I had heard Bugs say that a sheet ton of times, was not until I was probably like 20 when a buddy said ..."what a moroon", when I did something dumb. I laughed and said..."hey, Bugs Bunny" and asked what it meant, cuz I hadn't heard it since I was like 6 or something.
.
He explained it to me and I was at that point, I felt like a actual "moroon"... 😸

@deathsnitemaresinfullust2269 ... My comment keeps getting deleted:
------------------------------------------------
Remember, this was a kids cartoon and in the late 60's or very early 70's. I suppose they could have said "[this word]", but I am only speculating they would not only avoid it, but give an inside-pun for parents and adults. We see that in a TON of animated movies over the last 20 years. Look at Sh-rek, To-y S-to-ry for purrfect examples.

Did a little D-uc-kDu-ckG-o'ing and found some stuff of interest: I cannot post LINKS or YouObey will remove this comment, so here is a quote from "[comment was deleted, so edited this out]" ... "The expression “what a ma-ro-on” means “what a m-oro-n.” It’s an insult to someone’s intelligence and a way of telling them that they are not worth talking to in a conversation because you are above them."
.
Some interesting things, now that I look into it. Seems most references are from Bugs Bunny, but cannot find a year, but it was circa 1970's, when I first heard it. The word "Ma-ro-on" has been used as a term for runaway [blacks] in the West Indies, but don't know when.
.
Wow... Bu-gs B-un-ny began in 1940, so that phrase may be older than I thought. Anyway, interesting to hit the w-ayba-ck ma-ch-ine of my youth's and see Bugs again. Think I will hit up some old videos and catch up... peace
