dum-dum
Fool or ammunition
Dum-dum is informal for a stupid person: Don't be such a dum-dum.
The word is mild and often affectionate, frequently used with children.
Separately, a dum-dum bullet is one designed to expand on impact, causing greater damage—named after an arsenal near Calcutta where they were first produced.
