Ignorance is bliss .
The state or fact of being ignorant is
supreme happiness .
Context shmontext. People say it like they think it means something. It doesn't. It's an idiotic statement.

Lot's of people say it because they assume it's either
A) A widely accepted Universal Truth (it's not)
B) It's a famous quotable (it's not)

And if you ever commented on a delectable piece of food as "the bomb," surely your mouth would soon explode.
BTW, "ain't" is as acceptable as "Xerox" (generic term) and "blog." Check your contemporary nomenclature.
