Definition
呆笨 is a stative verb (s.v.) meaning 'stupid and clumsy' or 'slow-witted'. It describes a person's mental dullness combined with physical awkwardness, often used in a critical or pitying tone. Unlike 笨 alone, 呆笨 emphasizes a sluggish, unresponsive quality. It's a formal/literary word, not common in everyday conversation.
