English term or phrase: doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground
An expression that describes someone's ignorance or stupidity, in a slightly vulgar way. Other forms of the expression include "don't know the difference between one's ass and a hole in the ground" or "don't know your ass from your elbow". Basically meaning you have no idea what you're talking about, mixing up things that should be obvious. Is there a similar sort of expression in Slovak? A somewhat vulgar term would be preferred but not required.
