A person who is being delightfully stupid, gloriously clueless, or confidently wrong in a way that’s more funny than upsetting.

Used affectionately to call out daft behaviour without actual malice.
Totally made up word that sounds like it crawled out of a cartoon and decided to roast people politely.
