More specifically the person assumes that something was common knowledge but everyone he/she ask proves otherwise. Initially the person asking makes fun of the people for not knowing.
Might be a stretch to ask, but who knows.

It would be helpful if you could add a sample sentence to your question leaving the requested word as a "_____________". Thanks! :-)– Kristina LopezJan 6, 2016 at 16:16

I tried thinking of a sentence, but it becomes nearly the same as the prompt I posted.– karmaChamelionJan 6, 2016 at 16:27

The problem is that without assigning a sentence part to the word (noun, adjective, etc.), you'll probably not end up with a word but with a phrase to, as your question states, "describe a situation". Usually descriptions are more than one word so there might be some confusion about what you're really asking for. A sentence would really help, such as "Once again, Joe's (assumptions, jumping to conclusions, etc.) made him the laughing stock among his chums". Hope this helps! :-)– Kristina LopezJan 6, 2016 at 16:32

"Discredited" seems like a good word choice for the situation you appear to describe (a "know-it-all" who actually doesn't know "it" all).
