What about it?
Definition?- a term for a person who publicly displays his ignorance.
Origin?- In his 1676 play, The Plain Dealer, the English playwright William Wycherley wrote these lines: "Thou senseless, impertinent, quibbling, drivelling, feeble, paralytic, impotent, fumbling, frigid nincompoop".
Is that what you wanted???

I love that word! I heard Bugs Bunny say it once when I was a kid.
I also used to call my cousin Nick that.
