Nimrod and Bugs Bunny

In the Bible, Nimrod referred to a person in Genesis 10:8-10 and is described as a "mighty hunter."  So how did it come to refer to a stupid person?  In the Online Etymology Dictionary, they note that the real reason is unknown.  However, one popular theory is that "Nimrod" was used ironically to refer to a poor hunter, much like how "Einstein" or "Sherlock" is used ironically to refer to a stupid person.  However, many people didn't know who "Nimrod" referred to, and so the irony was lost on them, and instead came to simply mean a stupid person.

Bugs Bunny is the most frequently cited source, but I had trouble finding sites that would actually reference the episodes to see for myself.  So, that's why I'm making this blog post, to hopefully help.

• What Makes Daffy Duck? (1948) - Daffy Duck tricks Elmer Fudd, who exclaims, "How am I ever gonna catch that screwy duck?" and Daffy responds, "precisely what I was wondering my little Nimrod."
• Rabbit Every Monday (1951) - After Bugs Bunny tricks Yosemite Sam into the oven, he changes his mind and says, "Neh, I couldn't do that to the little Nimrod."

While I'm at it, Bugs Bunny also would often say, "what a maroon" after tricking his antagonist.  This is a mispronunciation of the word "moron" which refers to a stupid person.  I found "maroon" even more poorly referenced, so I figured I'd make a list of that, too.

• Hare Conditioned (1945) - Bugs Bunny pushes the department store manager down an elevator shaft and says, "What a dope!  What a maroon!"
• Buccaneer Bunny (1948) - Bugs Bunny impersonates Captain Bligh (Mutiny on the Bounty) and gives Yosemite Sam a bunch of orders.  As he's working, Bugs laughs to himself, "What a maroon!"
• Bugs Bunny Rides Again (1948) - Bugs Bunny pushes Yosemite Sam down a mine shaft and murmurs to himself, "Poor little maroon.  So trusting, so naïve."
• Bully for Bugs (1953) - Bugs dresses as a matador (bullfighter).  After tricking him into crashing into a wall, he says, "what a gulli-bull!  What a nin-cow-poop!"  Later, after the bull accidentally blows himself up, Bugs says, "what an im-bess-ile!  What an ultra-maroon!"
• Devil May Hare (1954) - After tricking the Tasmanian Devil, Bugs Bunny laughs, saying "what a maroon!" but turns and sees a deer, and tries to warn it away, saying he's a "mean, vicious, nasty, no-good, baggy-eyed, marble-headed ignoram-arus"

There are going to be others (one soundbite has Bugs saying "what a maroon, what an ignoranimous") but I did manage to rule out some of the episodes that frequently get cited.  I'll add to these lists as I find more reliable references.
