Dingbata 

Noun. The name of a delinquent, usually of European descent, in which whatever comes out of the person's mouth is illegible, illogical, or plain misunderstood. Instead of dingbat, an 'a' was added on to make the person seem more preposterous than being an actual ding bat.

Verb. 1)To act in a vagrant, childish manner, as if one had brain damage at an early age that manifested into something more serious.
"Look at him, acting like he's the king of everything! What a dingbata!"

A ridiculous, silly or stupid person.

The word 'dingbat' originally refers to to a character or symbol used in typesetting which gives an instruction to the printer. These should be removed before the text is published, but were occasionally left in by mistake. The character made no sense to non-typesetters and the association of "dingbat" with "nonsense" and "forgetfulness" carried over to describe people.
