arigonance

Definition

A beautiful portmanteau describing someone who's simultaneously arrogant AND ignorant, achieving a perfect storm of insufferable. These individuals confidently spout nonsense with the conviction of someone who definitely didn't do the reading. It's the Dunning-Kruger effect wearing a crown.

Example Usage

His arigonance was on full display when he loudly explained how vaccines work to an actual immunologist at the dinner party.
