You can find several thousands of weird words like that in a Japanese dictionary. In case you didn't know, the word came from the Japanese word "boke". :)

Pulled this from an online Japanese dictionary server:

惚け【ぼけ】 (bo-ke)
(n,suf) (uk) idiot; fool; touched in the head from; out of it from; space case; Alzheimer's (impol); (P)

When used as a verb, it denotes becoming senile or fading out. Now that I think of it, I guess "boke" could also be used to describe a lot of us old geezers here in this mighty fine forum. :lol: :mrgreen:
