"ignoranus" means: A person who is both stupid and rude; an ignorant asshole.. This is strong language and parents may reasonably want to discuss when, where and around whom it is used. It is not usually a sign of trouble on its own; many teens use such words to fit in with peers. A calm conversation about register, audience and consequences (school, work, family) tends to be more useful than a ban. Pay attention to the target of the language more than the word itself.
"ignoranus" means: A person who is both stupid and rude; an ignorant asshole.. Register: strong, taboo language. Avoid in writing, business, classroom and any formal setting; reserve for close friends after observing native use first. A common non-native mistake is to use the word in the wrong register, or to assume one fixed meaning when it is actually polysemous; always check the surrounding register and the audience before producing it yourself. In formal writing, prefer a neutral synonym or a short descriptive phrase, and use this word only when you have heard or read it being used naturally in a comparable context.

Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.
