I have fond memories of milk based corn soup with no chicken, is that similar to the PS version with chicken?

While I don’t consider myself an expert here, I believe “Don’t be stupid” would be a more accurate translation.

Or perhaps "Don't be so stupid".

It could mean "stupid". But in PA Dutch, "so dumm" is "so dumb"

Wife: may be a “dumb” question, but would German/Pennsylvania Dutch be similar to English, in having more than one meaning for the word dumb? I guess I always assumed that English just re-allocated a word used for mute people, but I suppose it might be the other way around, since the German also uses that for people lacking in common sense.
