Quixotic - cannot even remember what it means

It meant my Dad never played Scrabble with my mom ever again, that's what it meant.

Across two Triple Word tiles, no less.

I think it means like a person is taking something that is foolish or misguided far to seriously.

Yes :) , it looks that it takes its roots to Don Quixote (english is not my first language but come on, Don Quixote I could have remembered that)
