Funny how tools are useful. But a person who is a tool is not.
A tool of a person is a fool who is being used by someone else. They might not be useful to you, but to who ever makes the koolaid they're drinking, they're a very good tool.
I think that's the basic idea, but in practice it's used for people who are just generally dumb as well.
Eh, people misuse terms all the time. It shouldn't change what it's meant to mean.
I guess, but neither kind of dashboard catches dash from your horses these days. And forget about all bears being "brown ones". Language evolves.
Evolving is distinctly different than misunderstanding.
Well, when was the last time you looked at a hammer and thought "y'know, you're pretty smart!"
Haha, true. But then again, I've definitely thought that about like, a self-loading rifle or a can opener that way.
Tools are always useful. If its a good thing to (ab)use said tool depends on the tool and if its human or not :p
... And the job for the tool ofc
