A subset of the Dunning-Kruger Effect which causes stupid people to deny medical science and potentially harm themselves and others during the COVID pandemic.

Get the Dunning-Krovid Effect mug.In common usage, it means "clueless of being ignorant" but it's used to add an air of fake scientific authority to a cheap shot. It generally outs the author as an incompetent writer, ironically exhibiting the Dunning-Kruger effect themselves.
"G is the classic example of the Dunning-Kruger effect."
G: "No, the classic example is still your Mom's abortionist."

Get the Dunning-Kruger effect mug.The tendency of divorced dads to take up edgy right wing rhetoric (men’s rights, ethnostates, etc) and conspiracy theories while claiming expertise about topics they’ve barely researched. Named for Giuseppe “Face on Mars Joe” Filotto, a youtuber and lolcow
Ever since Mom ran off with Tyrell, Dad’s had a bad case of Dunning-Kurgan and is arming himself for a societal collapse he claims will happen in nine days.

Get the Dunning-Kurgan mug.When someone overestimates their ability to understand the Dunning-Kruger Effect, yet misguidedly discusses it ad nauseam in a pretentious drone as if they discovered it.
“Goddamnit! Deborah is suffering from the Dunning-Kruger Affect. She keeps frontin’ about other people’s cognitive biases, ironically unaware that she’s a text book example of what she speaks.”

Get the Dunning-Kruger Affect mug.Darwinism in action? No I think Anti Vaxxers are an example Dunning Kruger Malthusianism. They see tried and tested disease prevention as deliberate infection.

Get the Dunning Kruger Malthusianism mug.A person who incorrectly applies a common misinterpretation of the mostly debunked Dunning Krueger effect to criticise someone's intelligence. In doing so demonstrating a disparity between their inflated ego and actual comprehension ability.
He tried to insult her intelligence by un-ironically referring to Dunning and Krueger, those guys that won a satirical award for trivial achievements haha. What a Dunning Kruegerite!

Get the Dunning Kruegerite mug.A guy who, due to ego or low intelligence, refuses to acknowledge that he didn’t get understand the joke, so instead resorts to insisting that there was never a joke in the first place. He will often criticize the intelligence of the person telling the joke on the basis that they were serious.
“Make sure not to use satire around that guy! He’s Dunning-Kruger’s Kill-Joy, he’ll trap you in an argument you never actually made!”
