merely "stupid" I like characterizing a root-canal without anesthesia "uncomfortable".
I propose "FUBARISHUS"; FUBAR, of course, being the WWII acronym for "Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition".
If that doesn't suit you, how about "Guanorific" or "facepalmative".
"Stupid" is just insufficient.

"deplorable"? They think it's awesome to be deplorable. I just call them MAGAts or Qnuts.

(58,785 posts)3. Agree. And it's unjust to stupid statements.
FUBAR would work for both the pronouncements and, when extremely exasperated, those they came from.
(The adjective form would probably be "fubaricious," or perhaps "fubaritious"? )
