How it's used
Carries a much stronger and more aggressive tone than simply calling someone 蠢. It is often used as a direct insult to highlight someone's lack of common sense or poor decision-making in a specific moment. While it functions as an adjective, it is frequently used as a noun phrase to label a person.
Examples
He is such a fool, he even believes this kind of thing.
