There is a scientific term for 'Teh Stupid.'
 
Dunning-Kruger Effect

What is the Dunning-Kruger Effect?

The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which "people reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it".

The unskilled therefore suffer from illusory superiority, rating their own ability as above average, much higher than actuality; by contrast the highly skilled underrate their abilities, suffering from illusory inferiority. This leads to a perverse result where less competent people will rate their own ability higher than relatively more competent people.

Too dumb to realize that they're dumb.

Call them DKs.

We've know this all along.  The words "DUmmie" and "primitive" have been two very accurate words to describe these type of individuals.  Now we can add "DK" to the mix.

Wow.

What a find.

I thank you, sir.

It furthers my anthropological work on the primitives.

The primitive Dummies won't even realize how much this applies to themselves.

We can't use "DK" to denote Teh Stupid, because it's already used for "Dennis Kucinich".
Oh, wait...never mind.
