Chumpy
By Mr. D8a
"Chumpy is not a word, Martha Ann."
"Is so, Grandpa Kent! I get Triple word score!"
"In that case I'm going to have to challenge you. Let's look it up in the dictionary."
"It you're wrong, you lose your turn, Grandpa Kent."
"I know, sweetheart, I know." The elderly man with silvering hair turned to the wall monitor. "HAL, access online dictionary, English standard words, find 'chumpy.'"
[Working]
Seconds later HAL has the results.
[chumpy / adj. 1 : behavior indicative of a chump 2 : ACTING FOOLISHLY 3 : ACTING LIKE A BLOCKHEAD — chump•i•ness n

The elder Kent started to chuckle as he listened to the last bit from the computer. She finally got her way. His musings was interrupted by his Great-Great Grand daughter.
"See! I told you so!"
"Yes, Martha Ann. As usual, Grandpa was 'chumpy' to have ever doubted you."
The End.

And I didn't make up the blockhead part. In some dictionaries the definition for Chump is fool or blockhead.
