English term or phrase: silly at that
The slate of finalists (and their reasons for rejection) were: Air Avenues (too suggestive of New York’s swank Park Avenue, which is an inappropriate association for a budget airline); Hiway Air (a made-up word that Neeleman eschewed, and silly at that);

e ainda por cima é uma tolice
Explanation:
That's the meaning. The English expression is "and silly at that" whose emphasis is on
"ainda por cima". That is to say, the word the are mentioning was invented and, on top of that, it is a silly word.
