Dude is a full moron.
Can you explain this idiom to me?
JustZ is only saying Joe Rogan is a moron. The term "full moron" isn't a commonly used phrase on its own, but the word "full" followed by an adjective or noun can be used to enhance the descriptive word, such the quote "never go full retard" from the comedy movie "Tropic Thunder". The context is that an actor played a person with a mental disability in a movie, but they tried too hard, and the performance was uncomfortable for some people.
I feel compelled to note that I don't condone using hateful or disparaging language when describing the differently abled.
They knew exactly what it meant but were trying to use it as some sort of gotcha.
You gave a really good explanation though, I'd forgotten it was from Tropic Thunder. We were actually just talking about that movie a few days ago, I should watch it again.
No, I thought it said full moon.
