When Joe read the newspaper every morning, he knowingly skipped over the articles about car crashes, even though they were happening all around him. A fine example of wilful ignorance!

Get the wilful ignorance mug.The seemingly oxymoronic state one holds after being briefed on an important issue that they themselves recognize as deserving of further investigation, and then having made the conscious decision not to learn anything more about it.
Example 1.
Dude A: Hey dude, wanna go to that lecture on the ongoing genocide in Darfur?
Dude B: Nah, no thanks dude. I'm happy with my informed ignorance.
Example 2.
Hippies often try to make you feel guilty about your own informed ignorance.

Get the informed ignorance mug.Doing something that you think will make work easier but having your boss tell you that you are a dumbass until the crack fog clears and you can continue doing your job. Most people that are piss ignorant are short guys that wear 1988 calculator watches, wear a rain suit on a dry summer day, generally any oilfield hand or no matter what they do is never good enough or never right in decision making
