waves, you make me feel like a dolt.

I have only run across the word in context... Per the definition, it sounds like my use was a little off... I've never looked this word up, and it is one I've known for years... gotten it from reading and gleaned meaning from context (since I know I've never looked it up). Either it is 1. used the way I use it as well or 2) it has broader meaning than the way I took it.
Anyway, if there is a dolt here, it would have to be me.
