ignorami
Plural of ignoramus
Ignorami is a playful or pedantic plural of ignoramus, meaning ignorant people.
The Latin-style ending is technically a mistake—ignoramus was a verb form ("we do not know"), not a noun that would take the -i plural—but the error has become a minor tradition among those who enjoy flaunting classical affectations: The committee was staffed entirely by ignorami.
The standard plural is ignoramuses.
