Definition: A self‑selected group who proudly flaunt their inanity, branding themselves through nonsense phrases and empty repetition. The opposite of the cognoscenti (those who know).
Translation for reasonable audiences: “I am unabashedly ignorant; hear me fecklessly roar with no other purpose than to inflict my stupidity on you.”
Usage: Often applied to chanters of “6‑7, 6‑7” and similar viral nonsense, who treat stupidity not as shame but as identity.
- “The classroom was full of ignoranti chanting ‘6‑7’ like it was their anthem.”
- “He thinks he’s clever, but he’s just another ignoranti, bragging about his own brain rot.”
- “While the cognoscenti debate fine art, the ignoranti repeat memes and conspiracy theories until they collapse under the weight of their own stupidity.”
A singular example of gross ignorance by an ignoramus, usually perpetrated as an attempted witticism or bon mot in a futile attempt to insult or denigrate the enlightened remarks of a true intellectual.
I do believe that you have committed an ignoran, it being that point in your behaviour where your natural tendency for dullness and self-delusion has come together and shown your natural proclivities to the world.
