INVINCIBLE IGNORANCE I

There is nothing wrong with using an ad hominem or questioning the intelligence of someone or some group displaying stupendous stupidity. I do, however, object to inaccurate, uninspired or trite insults. Try some of these on your most deserving adversaries.

cretin - A person suffering from cretinism, a congenital deficiency of thyroid secretion with resulting deformity and idiocy.

ignoramus - (Literally in Latin: we take no notice - 1st person plural present indicative of: ignorare: to take no notice, be ignorant.) - an ignorant person.

idiot - A mentally deficient person with an intelligence quotient of less than 25. Loosely, a very foolish or stupid person.

imbecile - A mentally deficient person with an intelligence quotient ranging from 25 to 50.

moron - A mentally deficient person with an intelligence quotient ranging from 50 to 75.

Additional descriptive words and phrases: birdbrain, brainless, cave man, dense, dim, dull, dumb, foolish, mental midget, microcephalic, mindless, misinformed, obtuse, out to lunch, primitive, silly, simian, simpleton, slow, stupid, thick, troglodyte, uneducated, witless.
