Ig-nor-mous (noun)
Typically an obese motorist of either gender, in a tiny car (think hippo in a dugout canoe), who causes me to miss my left turn, because he / she was too focused on the cellphone in its meaty grasp, to notice the light change.
(Not to be confused with "ignoratious," which denotes behavior of the human buffalo blocking the grocery express lane, due to slack-jawed study of tabloid headlines)
