dumb ass

Brainless foolish person

Dumbass (also spelled as two words) is a vulgar insult for a stupid person, someone who has done something foolish or made an obvious mistake.

The term functions as both noun and adjective: What a dumbass move or Don't be such a dumbass.

It ranges from genuinely hostile to affectionately teasing depending on context and tone.
