« Back to Glossary Index

Thembo is a internet slang term used to describe someone who lacks intelligence or common sense. It is often used in a playful or mocking way to refer to someone who may not be the brightest person in a group or situation. The term is sometimes used to signal that the person being referred to is not necessarily aware of their lack of intelligence.

Examples:

1. Emily is such a thembo. During our math class, she thought dividing by zero would give you infinity. It was hard not to laugh at her misunderstanding.
2. John is a sweet guy, but he’s definitely a thembo. He once spent an entire hour searching for his sunglasses while they were resting on top of his head.
