kasigi Posted September 10, 2006 Report Posted September 10, 2006 I've only ever seen this term used on here and it's only come into usage recently. WTF is a WIS?
Everythingape Posted September 10, 2006 Report 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
kasigi Posted September 10, 2006 Author Report Posted September 10, 2006 It all becomes clear now. It has the meaning I though, but I was trying to work out the actual letters!

I can function in the outside world, a little. ps. Never been a fan of the moniker WIS as a compliment as it's exceedingly double-edged.

chris5264 Posted September 11, 2006 Report 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.

WUSS = A person regarded as weak or timid and especially as unmanly: "Cats are for wusses, dog men say" Laura Blumenfeld a (male RWG) WIS can be many things but certainly not unmanly

fitmic Posted September 15, 2006 Report Posted September 15, 2006 Hey mr Gran, what's the weather like in Denmark? The sun is shining and you're having a Tuborg in the park, waving Dennebrogden all day long?
