About

"You, Sir, are and Idiot" is a grammatically incorrect variant of the insult "You, sir, are an idiot." The quote was subsequently popularized on 4chan, with the conjunction "and" replacing the indefinite article "an" for comedic effect. The phrase now implies "I believe that I know more than you, despite my own ineptitude."
