How it's used
This expression uses the imagery of adding an extra one to a scale of ten, implying a level of stupidity that exceeds the maximum possible limit. It carries a strong, often impatient or derogatory tone, making it unsuitable for professional or polite settings. It is frequently used when someone makes a mistake that seems obvious or avoidable to others.
Examples
He is incredibly stupid, no matter how much you explain, he just doesn't get it.
You are so incredibly stupid at work, you are really driving me crazy!
