One of my favorite little facts is that "nimrod" entered the lexicon as synonym of "moron" because Bugs Bunny kept applying it to ~~Elmer Fudd~~ Marvin the Martian and very Christian America was too Biblically illiterate to understand that he was making a sarcastic reference.

Elmer Fudd

Not correct actually, it was Marvin the Martian he called Nimrod and it was because of his Roman centurion garb.
