Nimbra? He really is stupid. Nimrod was right there... Nimrata "Nimrod" Haley. Would've probably had a whole news cycle devoted to it
Nimrod, before being an insult, was a biblical figure, a grandson of Noah, a great hunter. Which is why Bugs calls Elmer that sarcastically. But IDK how many evangelicals have read enough of the Bible to know that or get upset about it.
That's hilarious! You said "read."

Why read when you can just sit in a pew every Sunday and let some preacher tell you what to believe while pretending that's all it takes to be a good person?
Apparently according to the wiki entry, it’s Daffy Duck that calls Elmer ‘Nimrod’, while Bugs later calls Yosemite Sam ‘Nimrod’:

I mean, Nimrat is even easier. I'm kinda surprised he didn't go with that and start comparing her face to a rat.
