RE: RE: RE: RE: You guys are funny...Moron (psychology), disused term for a person with a mental age between 8 and 12, and a common insult for a person considered a stupid fool (or just a generic insult)
An
idiot,
dolt, or
dullard is a mentally deficient person, or someone who acts in a self-defeating or significantly counterproductive way.
Archaically the word
mome has also been used. The synonymous terms
moron,
imbecile, and
cretin have all gained specialized meanings in modern times. An idiot is said to be
idiotic, and to suffer from
idiocy. A
dunce is an idiot who is specifically incapable of learning. An idiot differs from a
fool (who is unwise) and an
ignoramus (who is uneducated/an ignorant), neither of which refer to someone with low intelligence.
My debating would beat bag licking and BS around the table.
