Meaning of agnorant | Babel Free

Adjective CEFR B2
/ˈæɡnəɹənt/

Simultaneously ignorant and arrogant.

Examples

“The doings of some persons are all kinds of agnorant, mixed with a vacuous oral character that can make you feel a headlock.”
“So why am I not YouTube famous now? The main reason was I never really tried. Ok, I know that sounds really agnorant, however, by the time we were wrapping up the Video Announcements, YouTube was really just becoming a much stronger medium.”
““What kind of person claims to be agnorant you might ask,” Sheehy wrote in his book. “One who is bold enough to create his own pseudonym and yet still arrogant enough to put his name on the title of the book.””
“And if I say I don't want to be around someone, it's because I know they're an idiot and I refuse to put myself in that situation. Why should I? Because after they've said their racist/bigoted/stupid thing, and I've shot them down (or bit my tongue), they go on with their lives unchanged, because they're arrogant and ignorant (I'm going to coin the phrase “agnorant” henceforth).”
