When a person solves a simple problem with a complicated, expensive, or unnecessary response. This phrase is to be said after a somewhat satisfying solution is made and in a sarcastic tone. Usually, the provided solution does not offer a permanent solution to the original problem, making their sacrifices pointless.
Person 1: âI was eating spaghetti earlier and I didnât have a clean fork, so I made one out of toothpicks and the tip of a spoon I broke to make it.â
Person 2: âSo you didnât just wash a dirty fork, but instead made one? Well Dumb.â
