What’s an “imbecile”?
I went looking, just in case my own understanding of the term is lacking somewhat, and this is one of the definitions (with plenty of synonyms) offered by UrbanDictionary.com:
imbecile idiot moron retard stupid fool cretin dolt dumbass blockhead simpleton jackass dimwit dumb dunce retarded donkey ignoramus dope dummy half-wit jerk loser numskull tard ass bastard boob buffoon dork fuckwit genius nincompoop nitwit oaf bonehead crazy dipshit dodo dousche dumbfuck dunderhead ediot fathead fucktard george w. bush halfwit ignorant ninny shit for brains tool
1. Imbecile
Intelligence Quotient Scale:
Moron = 50-69
Imbecile = 30-49
Idiot = 29 & belowHey, you see that idiot over there? Why are you acting like him? You know you’re smarter than him, you imbecile.
Now I know, I was actually generous in that term’s use in some cases! :devil:
Careful with Urban Dictionary. It’s amusing sometimes, but sometimes they have an especially disgusting definition for a rather innocent term (look up “Cosby Sweater” sometime, seriously).
Anyway, I find clearer definitions sometimes from from one of the dictionary sites:
Imbecile
–noun
1. Psychology. a person of the second order in a former classification of mental retardation, above the level of idiocy, having a mental age of seven or eight years and an intelligence quotient of 25 to 50.
2. a dunce; blockhead; dolt.
–adjective
3. mentally feeble.
4. showing mental feebleness or incapacity.
5. stupid; silly; absurd.
6. Archaic. weak or feeble.
[Origin: 1540–50; earlier imbecill
That was “tongue-in-cheek” Barry. Intended to show the “richness” of the English language and its varying interpretation.

Oops!! sometimes my PC becomes an idiot and I become an imbecile while posting :pinch:

Oh in that case we should replace the words “imbecile” “moron” and “idiot” in our posts to something else
:whistle:
that’s exactly what I was thinking.. how about creating a new glossary of terms with plenty of “acceptable” synonyms?
That is the perfect description of our mps
