Dotard



I'm surprised people had to look up the word "dotard" after Kim Jong Un called Donald Trump one.

But the only other time I've heard it was watching The Seven Samurai. When the samurai arrive at the village, Toshiro Mifune raises a false alarm to bring the farmers out of hiding. He yells at them for a minute then says to the town elder, "Any objections, dotard?"

I had a little better context to get its meaning.
