How it's used
This expression is a common, hyperbolic insult used to mock someone's lack of intelligence or poor decision-making. While it is not necessarily vulgar, it is quite blunt and can easily cause offense if used in a serious or professional setting. It is most frequently employed among friends or family members to tease someone who has made a glaringly obvious mistake.
Examples
He is usually sharp, but he acts dumber than a pig whenever he faces this.
Why are you acting so stupid? You can't even handle something this simple.
