Do you know difference between these words before you use
these words to lash out at someone?
According to British legal stature, an idiot is an
individual with an IQ of less than 20, an imbecile has an IQ of between 20 and
49, and a moron an IQ between 50 and 69. Cretins are specifically persons with
a deformity or mental retardation caused by a thyroid deficiency; cretinism is
now more commonly called hyperthyroidism. The word idiot is derived from the
Greek for "private person" (as in idiosyncrasy); moron is from the
Greek for "foolish"; imbecile is a construction from a Latin phrase
meaning "without a stick"; Cretin comes, via the French, from the
word "Christian" and implies a holy person - God's fool" as it
were. A HUMAN BEAN is: one level lower than an IDIOT, those who just don’t get it; or are too ignorant to care.
