A tool is someone that is kind of arrogant and like a douche or an a-hole. It is not what these other definitions say. PInk uses the term in "So What", she's talking about her ex. Who is not a poser but a jerk, to her anyway.
Pink is talking about her ex in this song. He's not a "poser" hes a jerk, to her anyway.
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright
I'm just fine
And you're a tool so
So what
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't want you tonight
A wanna-be bad-ass who has a goatee, drives a rusted out firebird, and quite possibly works at Maceroni Grill, or Abercrombie, or other such Tool Locations.
"Wow, Tylers growing a goatee? What a tool!"
A guy who wears sleeveless shirts, and lets his tits hang out on the sides. He wears Everlast shorts and is proud of his road rash. A true Somervillian douchebag.
Paul a.k.a Tool - “Coco... go get the ball dummy!!!”
Let's keep it simple. "Tool" is simply a re-Anglicization of the Yiddish slang "Putz" which means the same as the original American slang term "Dick" in both its direct literal and anatomical meanings and its indirect figurative ones. Any context where "Tool" works, the term "Putz" or "Dick" could be substituted. But if you did that, people would know you're a total tool.
LITERAL: "My tool feels like it's ready fall off after partying with Amber last nite."
FIGURUATIVE: "Don't invite Brett. He's such a tool. He's so fake and a jagoff loudmouth."
If post nut clarity were a band
"Hello, welcome to McDonalds, how may I be of service?"
"I listened to every tool song last night, I now understand space, and I finally understand that we are essentially, one mind, experiencing itself through personal experiences."
"Sir, is a McDonalds"
One who sits in the back of a physics class next to a basketball star. He is the one who copies everything he does to try to get attention. He thinks he is the greatest kid in the world, but actually he isnt. He is the kind of kid who would walk in the pouring rain just to wear someone else's shoes. And, he would be the kid to get upset with 2 A's and 2 A-'s
Zeke walked into school from the pouring rain. He wanted to wear Malcolm's shoes. He is a tool.
