Everythingape Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 WIS = Watch Idiot Savant I think Main Entry: idiot sa·vant Pronunciation: 'E-"dyO-sä-'vän, or same as IDIOT and savant for respective singular and plural forms Function: noun Inflected Form(s): plural idiots savants /-"dyO-sä-'vän(z)/; or idiot savants /-'vän(z)/ Etymology: French, literally, learned idiot Date: 1927 1 : a mentally defective person who exhibits exceptional skill or brilliance in some limited field 2 : a person who is highly knowledgeable about one subject but knows little about anything else So a Watch Idiot Savant basically is someone who is exceptionally skilled, brilliant or knowledgeable about Watches but is particularly worthless in most if not all other topics. They basically suck in bed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris5264 Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 One of my favorite descriptions of a WIS, is someone who takes off a 300m diver watch and puts it in their pocket because they got caught in the rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
