Self confidence of ignorance!
Hi,
I heard a great word the other day but I'm not sure how to spell it!. It means someone who has the self confidence of the ignorant (and we all know someone like that!). It's something like boward or bayard or boyard but I can't find it anywhere! Any assistance much appreciated.

I heard the word Bayard discussed on radio last month. It was a discussion about dictionaries (which was more interesting than it sounds). The Oxford English Dictionary defined Bayrad as someone with the confidence of the ignorant.
