How it's used
Carries a high level of vulgarity and aggression, functioning as a severe insult to someone's intelligence or behavior. The inclusion of 撚 makes it significantly more offensive than simply calling someone 懵丙 or 懵仔. It is strictly reserved for heated arguments or among very close friends who use strong profanity.
Examples
What are you doing, are you a fucking idiot?
He is always acting like a fucking prick, it is so infuriating.
