I usually argue this point with with myself from time to time,,, but I finally decided to define my version of the meanings,,,I would like to hear others opinions.
See: Mirriam-Webster, McGraw Hill, Funk & Wagnel, et al

For everyday use, I usually refer to the Webster's Compact Collegiate, but it's good to have access to the Industrial Strength stuff when the need arises, lol.

And now, in the self whoring category, I am NEITHER Stupid nor Ignorant!! Yay!!!!! [sounds like Kermit the Frog]
"Ignorant" is when you don't know something because nobody has taught you, or you haven't been exposed to the knowledge. "Stupid" is when you don't know something because you have refused to learn.


There are all kinds of things that I'm ignorant of, but just because that's true, don't ever think I'm stupid...

That is far too vague. Are you in need of the definitions of *others* before you can define your version of both words? How very quaint. What have you come up with so far?
To me Stupid is when you have been taught to do something a certain way ,, but you decide to do the opposite,,and end up in trouble or harmed.
Ignorant is when you"ve never been taught.
This has been my own definitions for years, but I was interested in learning how others thought.
Now I am going to get quiet for a while gypsymoth,,it seems I have struck a nerve.,,AND FOR THAT IAM SORRY!
According to the Oxford dictionary.

ignorant/lacking knowledge or imformation

stupid/showing a lack of thought or good judgement


i think we all know the meaning of these words; but maybe it's another word we are in need of!
I'd say ignorant means having no knowledge of something and stupid means a low IQ. One can attain knowledge about anything; one cannot raise one's IQ.
Stupidity has nothing to do with IQ because educated or so called intelligent people do stupid shit all the time.
For example, people who ride in the left lane and refuse to move right. People who don't know how to merge onto a freeway. People who camp out in line all night for merchandise and then trample each other in the stampede when the doors open. These are examples of stupidity.
Ignorance is thinking you know something, forming an idea, basis or opinion on something you know absolutely nothing about or what you heard from other sources or pieced together, without studying or researching it for yourself to discover truth and truth is not an opinion, truth is found when all theory and conjecture have been thoroughly analyzed and debunked, all theory and writing have been analyzed and your basis is harmonized thoroughly with all knowns to agree thoroughly with the analysis, with no contradictions, errors or unknowns. Then and only then do you have truth. Until then you have only conjecture and ignorance.
Following erroneous traditons, theories, fables, fairytales and beliefs just because its the hip thing to do or because everyone is doing it is an example of both stupidity and ignorance.
I agreed with everyones opinion of stupid or ignorant for the most part,, But I think that Blowboy has really got it figured it out ,,,THANK YOU SIR! ,,maybe we have encountered the same kind of people in life.

I take no credit for my knowledge or ignorance of anything I profess my dear sir for it is of devine inspiration and providence only.
In my experience, more people take offense to being called an ignorant fuck, than they do to being called a stupid fuck; while almost nobody takes offense to being called a ridiculous fuck.

I have been all three at various times in my life.
The same GQP demanding we move on from January 6th, 2021 is still doing audits of the November 3rd, 2020 election.

I am a man ,,But I can change if I have to ,,I guess.
There has always been one definition of stupidity which has stuck in my mind...

"Doing the same thing the same way over and over, yet expecting a different result."

And in my book, ignorance is just absence of knowledge...

So is ignorance bliss?

I wouldn't know...

To me Ignorant is lack of knowledge and stupid is lack of brain cells or common sence

Ignorance can be bliss if the knowledge is dangerous or hurtful
