A glorious word meaning extremely/excessively stupid or foolish.
When used in a sentence, "Adam's asinine actions", it sounds so much better than saying, "Adam's extremely stupid actions".
Etymology:
c.1600, "obstinate, stupid," from L. asininus "stupid," lit. "like an ass," from asinus "ass," also "dolt, blockhead" (see ass (1)). The literal sense in English is recorded from 1620s.
