Award Definitions
(Courtesy of CSW, Merriam-Webster &

- PERSPI (n) - [CSW] a person who possesses and exemplifies perspicacity i.e. acute mental vision or discernment, intelligence manifested by being astute, the capacity to assess situations or circumstances shrewdly and to draw sound conclusions, and thus the PERSPI AWARD.
- STUP (n) - [CSW] a person who exemplifies the epitome of stupidity i.e. slow to learn or understand, obtuse, tending to make poor decisions or careless mistakes, marked by a lack of intelligence or care, foolish, dazed, stunned, stupefied, pointless, and thus the STUP AWARD.
- DWEEB (n) - Not quite of STUP caliber but well on his/her way to attaining that status. A person regarded as socially inept or foolish.
And remember our policy: Once a PERSPI, you can always become a STUP; once a STUP, you can never become a PERSPI.
