Buffoon (n)

It’s not much used any more (though maybe it should be), but here, nonetheless, is a context clues worksheet on the noun buffoon. Did you know it means “a ludicrous figure,” “clown,” and “a gross and usually ill-educated or stupid person”? If so, you probably understand why I might urge a return of its use to, you know, comment appropriately on our time.
