stunod
Language: English
Part of speech: adj
Pronunciation: ipa: /ˈstunɑd/
Etymology: Italian-American immigrant slang; dialectal and derived from Southern Italian languages. In standard Italian it would be Italian stonato (“out of tune”).

The Italian-American meaning is nearly identical to the meaning in Sicilian and Neapolitan, though in Sicilian and Neapolitan stunatu and stuntato can also simply mean “out of tune” as well.
Senses: examples: text: If I was acting particularly spacey, my mother would ask, “Are you stunod?”
