25 People Who Were Very Smug and Very Wrong

We all know those people who are so sure of themselves that they can be downright smug about their wrongness. This is a collection of people who are not only completely incorrect but also extremely loud and proud about it. There’s a great term for this that I heard recently called ‘errogant,’ which means to be completely wrong but totally certain about it.

From a complete lack of historical knowledge, to an impressively misunderstanding of science, here’s our collection of people who were very smug and very wrong.

1. This is just incredibly incorrect.

A social media post states no nation has ever existed beyond 250 years, highlighting America’s 250th year in 2025. A reply humorously claims a local pub is older than "your country," garnering 1.2K likes and 5 replies.

2. Wales is, in fact, a country.

3. In fact, we would notice in 8 minutes and 20 seconds.

4. There is only one sun, and it hasn’t changed colors

5. Wait, do you think rubber trees are rubbery, not wood?

6. Okay, but what happens when all that ice is sitting on land?

7. Confirming that your mathematical capability is not great

8. A front trunk is called a ‘frunk’ actually

9. Dairy products are made from the milk of mammals. Eggs are laid by birds.

10. Scientists should study this person’s brain

11. I’m about to sell this person some oceanfront property in Arizona.

15. Breath: to take air into the lungs and then expel it

17. White chicken eggs are totally natural

18. That’s not what ‘rookie’ means

21. Hold on, I have more oceanfront property in Arizona for sale

22. Everybody needs to settle down.

This one should probably be included in our list of funny times people completely missed the joke.

23. Just incredible

24. Pythagoras is such a good diss here

When you’re digging 2500 years into history for a diss, you’re doing something right.

25. This has to be my favorite one of the entire list
