Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

this is either the perfect comment that uses the word "ignoramus", or the worst insult.
I'm still not sure if you actually meant to do it or not.
I chose it for its Latin-ness, if that's what you're asking.
your comment used it as a zeugma. the term described who you were speaking to as "one who is ignorant" as well as being used as a tongue-in-cheek soliloquy, using a Latin term when you had announced none were present, which used the original definition of "we take no notice of, we do not know".
it's quite clever, though I doubt you meant to do it 😆.
