Maybe the fact that Marcus, Rene and Stephen have all tried to include it makes it worth accepting. Anyway, drop it for now, I guess. |

It'd be nice if the JMdictDB interface could warn about that the same way it warns about existing entries. Looks like we'll see this again next year then. |

This has been submitted twice before – in 2020 (2844676) and 2021 (2850095), rejected on both occasions. Unless there are any new arguments for adding it, this should be deleted. |

Definitely rare and not thoroughly established. Most usages of it that I see in web results are prefaced by an explanation of its origin.
I don't think this counts as A+B, though. "Helpful moron" wouldn't be an accurate gloss. This is a specific concept. |

A+B, rarely used translation of an English expression, not established in Japanese (anybody can make an article on anything on Wikipedia) |

This gets a modest amount of search hits on twitter. Seems to always be used as a direct translation of the English expression.
