ignoramous: 1570s, originally an Anglo-French legal term (early 15c.), from Latin ignoramus “we take no notice of, we do not know,” first person plural present indicative of ignorare “not to know, take no notice of” (see ignorant).
your comment used it as a zeugma. the term described who you were speaking to as “one who is ignorant” as well as being used as a tongue-in-cheek soliloquy, using a Latin term when you had announced none were present, which used the original definition of “we take no notice of, we do not know”.
it’s quite clever, though I doubt you meant to do it 😆.
this is either the perfect comment that uses the word “ignoramus”, or the worst insult.
I’m still not sure if you actually meant to do it or not.
I chose it for its Latin-ness, if that’s what you’re asking.
