assclown

Irritating stupid person

An assclown is a person who behaves foolishly, obnoxiously, or incompetently—someone whose antics invite ridicule or contempt.

The term blends the crudeness of *ass* with the absurdity of *clown*, suggesting someone who makes a spectacle of themselves through stupidity or buffoonery: Don't be an assclown—read the instructions first.

Often used as a dismissive insult for someone not worth taking seriously.
