I knew I was in for a long afternoon when I was told to dumbarize my presentation on sales projections for that pylon from head office.

Chad: Later, I'll catch you gents tomorrow 🤙 *Begins walking to car*
Alex: What does that say on your license plate?
Chad: Oh, it's my last name. My parents got the plates for me as a gift when I got my driver's license. Ya, all the teenagers in my day drove around in cars rocking with plates like these.
Marcus: In your day? I think your day was more than a few years ago Dumbar 🤙

dumbar

combination of the words 'dumbass' and 'retar' (a retarded way of saying 'retard'). Usually used by dumbasses while having an argument with a dumbass to assert dominance. Chief dumbass in the dumbassery spectrum. You automatically lose every argument if someone calls you a dumbar.

dumbar number

The dumbar number is the number of participants in a conversation beyond which it becomes counter-productive.

The number is unique to every conversation. Some conversations have a dumbar number of 5 while some can go up to double digits depending on the mental stability, social intelligence and epistemic humility of the speakers.

Not to be confused with Dunbar’s number, which is the maximum number of social relationships a person has the cognitive capacity to maintain. So while Dunbar’s number poses a challenge to scaling trust and social cohesion in increasingly large groups, the dumbar number poses a challenge to scaling rational discourse in increasingly large conversations.

I’m leaving, this conversation is way past the dumbar number.

You’re so dumb, you lower any conversation’s dumbar number to one by joining it.

Man, I wish we had social media that increased the dumbar number across the board.
