How it's used
Functions as a softened, slightly more socially acceptable alternative to vulgar insults. It carries a sense of pity or frustration, implying that the person is not just unintelligent, but also naive or easily taken advantage of. It is frequently used when someone makes a decision that is clearly against their own self interest.
Examples
You are such a fool, you don't even know you've been scammed.
Why were you so stupid to go and clean up his mess?

Common mistake
Avoid using this in professional or formal settings, as it still carries a derogatory tone despite being a euphemism. It is strictly for casual conversation among friends or peers.
