How to use "Witless" in context?
The word "witless" holds a lot of negative connotations. It means someone who is incompetent, someone who is not smart. No one would choose to be called witless, least of all someone who considers themselves smart. But that is exactly what people who are called witless often are. They are completely devoid of intelligence. They are not smart enough to handle the simplest tasks, and they are not even halfway smart enough to understand the basics of issues that are important to them. They can be easily fooled, and they are often unaware of the consequences of their actions.
