Hello teachers,

Can you please correct my sentence? I'm not sure if this is correct.

"For those who think that AAA can beat XXX easily, must be dumbed."

Thank you!

It's an adjective - used informally to mean stupid.

Here's my last question.

Would that be possible if I use it as verb? "...must be dumbed = to make silent

Those who think AAA can beat *** easily must be dumbed. Still grammatical?

I'm sorry if I have many questions. Thanks

It's grammatical, yes, but not colloquial. In this context use 'must be silenced'.

Trying to silence football supporters is not realistic, either.
