Idiot, Imbecile, and Moron
Which one of the three words listed above have you used recently? Did you really know what you were saying when you called someone that.
Personally, I’m more likely to call someone an idiot than any of the other words. Moron would be next. I’m highly unlikely to call anyone an imbecile.
Clinical Terms
I had no idea that these words were clinical terms. They were used in a psychological classification system, and each one described a particular range of development.
