How it's used
Primarily used as a harsh, informal insult to describe someone's behavior or ideas as childish, illogical, or incredibly silly. While it literally contains the word for energy, it is rarely used to describe power consumption in casual speech. It carries a stronger, more mocking tone than simply saying 傻.
Examples
Your suggestion is really super stupid.
Why did you think of such a super stupid method?
