\ˈfa-chü-əs, -tyü-\
Definition:
complacently or inanely foolish : silly
Etymology:
Latin fatuus foolish
First Known Use: 1633
I ran across this word in a book, The Actor and the Housewife by Shannon Hale:
You are by far the most fatuous woman I've met today.
Whether or not you think the speaker is calling you fat (as in the pic today), you can be assured that this is NOT a compliment.
