How it's used
Carries a strong sense of exasperation or mockery towards someone's perceived lack of intelligence or irrational behavior. It is far more informal than standard words for foolishness and often implies a temporary lapse in judgment rather than a permanent state. Use it carefully, as it can be offensive depending on the tone and the relationship between speakers.
Examples
He is always doing such dumb things, it is really annoying.
