A Laughing Stock
If you are A Laughing Stock then you’re been exposed to a wide number of other people for your stupidity. The stocks were used in many villages in medieval England to hold a person who had been caught doing something silly or against the rules in front of their community. Their head and hands would be secured in a wooden frame and their fellow village folk would gather round to laugh at and humiliate them, often by pelting them with rotten vegetables.
