"missa" and "dismissal" both come from Latin mitto, mittere, missus est, which is normally rendered in English as "send".

"Ite, missa est" can be translated either as "Go, you are dismissed" (Literally, "Go, the dismissal is [made]"), or "Go, she [not it] is sent".

Exactly.

The "clueless" claimer winds up being "clueless" himself...and winds up shooting his credibility in the foot.
