One who tries to live in the modern world and make use of technology, but is still basically stupid or ignorant; or one who is colossally stupid, ignorant on grand scale, a sort of überidiot, perhaps the very stupidest person in the world. Formed by combining the term global village with village idiot.
Did you see the way that Richard used his digital camera to take a picture of his computer screen so that he could make a hard copy of the report he wrote? What a global village idiot.

Get the global village idiot mug.
A “Global Village Idiot” is a flat Earther who constantly unwittingly proves the Earth is a globe, whilst trying to prove it’s flat!

Years ago, village idiots would be tolerated by the villagers as a harmless local laughing stock. Nowadays, the internet has exposed the modern day village idiots, known as flat Earthers, to a global audience, hence the term “Global Village Idiot”!
CC is one of the most hilarious flat Earthers on YouTube! He’s the very definition of a Global Village Idiot”!
