Wordfuse (Stink eye Version)
nincomtroop (noun): nincompoop + troop = a contingent, a group, a band, a bunch, even a delegation of people bonded together by their astonishing cluelessness.
They might be politicians or they might be in charge of the bake-sale fundraiser. They might even be your coworkers: see mayhemployee. Worse, they might be your bosses. Regardless, they are imbeciles and they travel in packs. So speak softly and carry a big box of assorted crayons. It might distract them.

Oh yeah, you're definitely talking about my kids. The crayons are only useful for 5 minutes, then they wander around like brain-starved zombies again.
DON'T GIVE THEM CRAYONS.
Ummm...do I throw the crayons and then run?
I notice strange things, but did you just celebrate a smilestone without telling anyone?
DBS HAS 100 FOLLOWERS!!!!
(that's a good thing, right?)
*clap*
Yay 100 followers!! And I LOVE this wordfuse!! It's almost as good as amazome. lol
@Nicole Kids & zombies. I see the connections.
@Chelle You're right. They don't deserve crayons.
@AC Don't run. They will follow you, like zombies. And yes, that's a smilestone for sure. Thanks for noticing.
Thanks Sunny Dee.
I think that aptly describes the Airborne Regiment...I can say that, married to one of from the nincomptroop for seven years.
WOOHOO For the 100 followers!
This word can also describe a mob of angry villagers weilding pitchforks.
or
a group of blondes wielding Chihuahuas.
There are many wild herds of these roaming my neighborhood!
I like this blog...
Interesting and quite brilliant...
I will be back!

MIGHT be politicians? Hahahahaha!
I can safely say I've dealt with at least two variations of nincomtroop: the coworker nincomtroop I've talked about. Then there's the student nincomtroop - some of those kids I study alongside (especially the younger ones) make me very distressed for the future of mankind.
Congrats on all the smilestonage!
MALL PEOPLE.
Especially around the holidays.
Obnoxious Mob = MOBNOXIOUS.
What will get in more trouble for idiocy than one moron? A Nincomptroop!
Sounds like middle management of a large corporation without the crayons :-).
Another fine word and definition that should become part of the English lexicon.
Again, even better than Sniglets.
A small recommended change (at least in the U.S.): Instead of "They [nincomtroops] might be politicians" how about "They are always politicians."
Great word, though!
@Sandra I'll take your word for it.
@alittlesprite Ha! Exactly.
@LoC Approach with caution.
@DSWS I agree.
@VinnyC I hear ya.
@KevD Totally.
@paul Indeed.
@Windsmoke Mos Def.
@DM Thanks.
@AP I understand your pain.
@Lisa Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad you plan to return.
Living in Arizona, I often feel overwhelmed by nincomtroops.
I have an award for you in my latest post. I wanted to use smilestone in it, but I thought I should check with you first.
Public sector workers = nincompooper troopers.
I have been held hostage by a pack of nicomtroops in my lifetime.
There should be a hunting season.
