jackassery
Obnoxious idiotic conduct
Jackassery is foolish, stupid, or obnoxious behavior—the kind of conduct you'd expect from a jackass.
The word emphasizes repeated or persistent foolishness rather than a single lapse: I've had enough of his jackassery.
It's informal and mildly vulgar, often used with exasperated affection.
