"Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise" is a saying of which most people know only three words. Taken out of context as they are, these seem to promote willful ignorance in all matters, yet are often taken as absolute truth.

Ignorant Person: I hate Spanish food, taco bell sucks.
Smart Person: Taco bell isn't spanish food, it's supposed to be Mexican food, and it's just sloppy fast food, if you want real mexican food check out a family owned resturant.

A term used by certain minorites to describe anyone who is pissing them off. Ironically, ask them what it means, and they won't have a clue. All you'll get as an answer is a clenched fist to the head (for being ignorant of course).

Dictionary.com defines ignorant as "lacking in knowledge or training; unlearned," "lacking knowledge or information as to a particular subject or fact," "uninformed; unaware," "due to or showing lack of knowledge or training." People today use the term "ignorant" to define people or statements they find rude or offensive. Unless the person's words actually are based on a lack of knowledge, he is not ignorant. Being rude and offensive is different from being unlearned.

Contrary to popular belief, being ignorant is not direct stupidity, but simply being "Ignore-ant" in other words, choosing not to listen to obvious fact.
