A nonstandard, somewhat comic informal noun meaning the quality or behavior of being a halfwit — stupidity, foolishness, or dim-wittedness as a general condition. Used for emphasis or humor when calling someone merely 'stupid' doesn't seem quite strong enough. The '-ery' suffix gives it a sense of ongoing, habitual foolishness rather than a single stupid act.
