‘he is a “dumba”.’

I looked this word up. Matt Dumba gets a lot of hits; he’s a Canadian ice hockey defenseman.

The other major usage is:

Define dumba: a fat-tailed sheep of Bokhara and the Kyrgyz steppe.

Not sure what the woman was trying to say; it doesn’t appear to be an insult. Maybe a fat-tailed hockey player?

Maybe it was truncated and the “ss” was left off out of politeness.
