Touron

Touron is a derogatory term combining the words "tourist" with "moron" to describe any person who, while on vacation, commits an act of pure stupidity.

In 1991 the term was cited in: "Over at U.S. 192 and State Road 535, westbound touron — (a combo of tourists and morons, according to a local dj) are constantly making sudden U-turns from the left lane, causing oodles of rear-end wrecks.

Images and video of tourist in dangerous situations are uploaded to the internet and demonstrate their, often stunning, behavior.

[1] More recently, the term 'touron' has been used frequently to describe tourists who visit Horse Guards on London's Whitehall and act in an inexplicably stupid way.

Tourists become touronic out of an innocent reaction to places they have never been due to a greater curiosity.
