I'm looking for a noun. How do you call a person who completely lacks knowledge about something but pretends to be knowledgeable in that area? Pedantic? Or is there any other words?

Teacher Re: I'm looking for a noun. A pedant is normally knowledgeable, even if their knowledge is limited in scope. We have words like ignoramus and iigot, bt they don't fit exactly- I'll have a think and see if I can think of something.
