Here's a cool article I just found today.

(This may be old news. If that's the case, sorry)

Anyway, here's the link.

of course, it says a muppet is a foolish person.

anyway, it's still cool that it's an "official" word.

I heard of that! My dad swore I got the new dictionary with that definition, but that isn't in it. Why did it get so misdefined?

I think it may be a British term... I remember someone saying something about it not too long ago (a couple years maybe)....

On the back of my Muppet Action Figure it has a defintion of the word as well. Here how it goes.
