OK, What Actually Is a Nimrod?-- Part 1: And... DON'T Call Me Nimrod!!!

I have been writing about the HMS Nimrod this last week.

I was always under the opinion growing up and now that you wouldn't want to be called a nimrod.  Wikipedia says Nimrod was a Biblical figure.  So, who is right?  Both of us as it turns out.

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary has three definitions for Nimrod:

1,  Capitalized:  A descendant of Ham represented in the Bible's Genesis as a mighty hunter and a king of Shinar.

2.  Not capitalized:  hunter

3.  Not capitalized, slang:  idiot, jerk
