What does foolhardy mean?

The definitions already given are correct.  But perhaps it will help you to remember it if you look at the pieces put together to make the word: fool + hardy.\n\n"Fool" hardly needs explanation.\n"Hardy" is used hear in the sense of "bold"\n[Middle English, from Old French hardi, past participle of hardir, make hard, embolden, of Germanic origin; see  kar- in Indo-European roots.]\nhttp://www.thefreedictionary.com/dict.asp?Word=hardy\n\nIf it's of interest:\ncompare the nickname "Richard the LIONHEARTED".  The latter part is typically explained as "bold as a lion".  This also happens to be the historical meaning of the name "Leonard" (from "Leonhard", i.e., 'lion' + our word 'hardy') Since\n"heart" and "hardy" seem to have a distinct history (except perhaps in the murky recesses of 'Indo-European'), and the idea of "having heart" or being "of stout heart" goes way back, so I'm not sure whether it's just happenstance that these names are equivalent, or whether (more likely) one influenced the other.

I'd say it's more of a, \n\n"Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."

It came from a song in Mary Poppins about a boy who was afraid to speak and then he discovered this wonderful word.\n\n"If you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious!"\n\nThe meaning is just super or superb. But it's a cool word. :)

I agree with the suggestion "quaere sapientiam" = seek wisdom\n\n"literate" is a variant spelling of "litterate" which can mean "elegantly", "literally", "cleverly" .\n "humaniores" is referring to those who are "more human", "more refined"\nso the phrase probably means "elegantly more refined"\n\nHowever you may have misquoted "Literae Humaniores" which refers to the study of Classics (also known as the Humanities), and may be translated as "more refined scholarship."

The name itself explains the meaning. You aren't this dumb,are you?

This 'riddle' has been circulating in email for years now, in various forms of words, and had appeared in print media before that. Dictionary and reference departments the world over have been plagued by questions about it. It seems to have originated as a trick question, but the wording has become so garbled in subsequent transmission that it is hard to tell what was originally intended.\n\nThe most probable answer is that, in the original wording, the question was phrased something like this: \n\nThink of words ending in -gry. 'Angry' and 'hungry' are two of them. What is the third word in the English language? You use it every day, and if you were listening carefully, I've just told you what it is.\nThe answer, of course, is 'language' (the third word in 'the English language').\n\nThere are several other English words ending in -gry which are listed in the complete Oxford English Dictionary, but none of them could be described as common. They include the trivial oddities un-angry and a-hungry, and \n\naggry: aggry beads, according to various 19th-century writers, are coloured glass beads found buried in the ground in parts of Africa. \nbegry: a 15th-century spelling of beggary. \nconyngry: a 17th-century spelling of the obsolete word conynger, meaning 'rabbit warren', which survives in old English field names such as 'Conery' and 'Coneygar'. \ngry: the name for a hundredth of an inch in a long-forgotten decimal system of measurement devised by the philosopher John Locke (and presumably pronounced to rhyme with 'cry'). \nhigry-pigry: an 18th-century rendition of the drug hiera picra. \niggry: an old army slang word meaning 'hurry up', borrowed from Arabic. \nmeagry: a rare obsolete word meaning 'meagre-looking'. \nmenagry: an 18th-century spelling of menagerie. \nnangry: a rare 17th-century spelling of angry. \npodagry: a 17th-century spelling of podagra, a medical term for gout. \npuggry: a 19th-century spelling of the Hindi word pagri (in English usually puggaree or puggree), referring either to a turban or to a piece of cloth worn around a sun-helmet. \nskugry: 16th-century spelling of the dialect word scuggery meaning 'secrecy' (the faint echo of 'skulduggery' is quite accidental!).

Fascitious is more like being sarcastic.  It's not taking the subject seriously.  Mischievous usually means causing trouble.  It's like Dennis the Menace.
