What is another word for cretin?
Pronunciation: [kɹˈɛtɪn] (IPA) 
Cretin, a word derived from the French "chretien," meaning "Christian," is a derogatory term used to describe a foolish and intellectually challenged person. It is considered offensive and insensitive to use such a term to describe a person with an intellectual disability. Alternative synonyms that can be used instead of "cretin" include "simpleton," "idiot," "moron," "fool," "imbecile," "dope," "dunce," and "numskull." However, it's important to remember that using such words to describe someone with an intellectual disability is not only insensitive but also incorrect as they lack respect and should be treated with dignity and kindness.
