Village idiot No.2 (France)

I asked the daughter at the farm house in what way is the village idiot considered one (see blog entry The village idiot) and in what way does his speech not make sense.  She said he’d say things like, “Fire, forest,” and the listener will have to provide the link.  I immediately said, “Then I’m your village idiot No.2, because that’s the kind of communication I’m capable of in French!”
