Albeit a peach that fell off the tree several weeks ago, and that the maggots have had a go at...

the hoax fooled quite a few natural historians of the day, but it was a baby baboon's head sewn onto a salmon.

Wouldn't bother me. I'd still do her.

Bit of a crap question but I'm stumped... What was the old term for someone with "profound mental retardation", i.e. an IQ of below 20?

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Thu May 17, 2007 3:22 pm

could it be 'simpleton'. i know that word was used in court files.

you could do better YE, she has got a beard ffs.

My ex used to have a moustache, so I'd be in familiar territory.

Simpleton isn't the answer on my card but you're on the right lines.

Bonus point if you can tell me the politically-incorrect word for someone with Down's syndrome, which is this word + another word.

Imbecile?

I've seen it in old files here at work (Mental Health Trust!)

Matt's answer sounds good but i'll say deadhead.

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Thu May 17, 2007 3:50 pm

Nope, still not the answer in my head.

Nor is dunderhead, pillock, spazzmo, fuckwit, or shit-for-brains.

Clue: it has 5 letters
