Ignominy

A word used far too many times in the Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, a book in which everyone speaks like they had just finished writing a copy of the King James Bible. It basically means public shame or disgrace.
"By bringing me hither, to die this death of triumphant ignominy before the people! Had either of these agonies been wanting, I had been lost forever."

A fancy way of saying idiot. It is theorized that it is actually a new species of human, the Dufus Ignoramus, said to be found in your everyday locations.
