pat


A describing word for a person who has done something silly, embarrasing or down right stupid: After saying something ridiculous my friend proceeded to say "Mary you're a pat".

Contributor's comments: "You're a pat" could be the old Americanism patsy or fall-guy/victim. To "have it off pat" is to have every single one of your ducks in perfect alignment, to have your swag rolled up.
