"gump" is a slang term that became popular in the 20th century, particularly in the United States, to describe a person who is stupid, foolish, or slow-witted. Its rise in common use was influenced by the 1994 film Forrest Gump, whose title character is portrayed as naïve and simple-minded, reinforcing the association. The term appears in informal speech, online discussions, and media commentary to mock someone's intelligence or judgment. It is mildly to moderately derogatory, often teasing but clearly insulting, and is never neutral.
