I have been studying the term 'gormless'. It would seem that the term 'gorm' in old Northern England was used to describe a foolish person. As in 'Bruce is a gorm'. However, it seems to also be used to mean a trait which would be described as attentive and alert. As in 'Bruce has his gorm on.
With this in mind, as Bruce the gorm's wife has lost him, she could be said to be gormless or without an idiot.
On the other hand, If Bruce has become gormless, the meaning could be that he has ceased to be attentive and alert.
As in 'Bruce had 4 pints and is now totally gormless'.
I do suspect the latter is the meaning of the word in Jimbo's post!
Regards,
Bruce
I dunno! Ask Jimbo as he is an advisor. Do catch him as he has his gorm back, though!
Bruce"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.
