Apparently the word gullible comes from a guy named "Yuri Gilibloie". In late 1700's/early 1800's France people would always have trouble pronouncing his name so he wrote a note on his local community board on how to pronounce his name but some Republicans rewrote the note because Yuri was a noble and everyone believed this rewritten prank note. So Yuri then wrote a thesis about why people seem to believe everything they read and named a word after it and he named the word after himself. Imagine being able to tell people that you invented being gullible, supreme rage bait.

I was browsing my local new paper archive and saw this in a fun fact section but when I google the guy it just comes up with some anime character
