Redoofus
Created by: artr
Pronunciation: rēdoō-fəs
Sentence: Victor was such a redoofus that he spent 20 minutes punching the auto-opening key fob aimed at the wrong car.

The only thing that broke his trance was the car owner getting in the car and driving away. That was the point at which he remembered that he was driving his wife's car because his was in the shop.
Etymology: redo (do (something) again or differently)+ doofus (do (something) again or differently)
