Nimbo

In other words, someone who thinks they are coming up with a clever response, when in fact they sound STUPID.
Person A: Yo, did you see Dom hit that jump? It was amazing!
Person B: Yea your mom was amazing last night too.
Person A: You're such a freakin NIMBO, shut up.

It also refers to someone who is obnoxious or annoying. The kind that you want to drop kick to the forehead.
example:

Nimble

Like Whos, Nimbles are a microscopic race of people that are invisible to the naked eye. Unlike Who’s whom reside on snowflakes and floating dust, in towns often named Whoville, nimbles reside on the skin of humans in towns named Nimbleton, or Nimbleville. It is commonly believed Nimbles are more likely to exist on children and teenagers due to their consistently unclean nature. The first reported Nimble colony was discovered in Jukay Village near the jungle of Nool. Researchers at Dartmouth College made the find in 1946, while investigating the reports of Who’s residing on dust in the jungle of Nool.
