LOL...I prefer this spelling:
The term
cretin describes a person so affected, but, like such words as spastic, idiot, and lunatic, also is a word of abuse.
Cretin became a medical term in the 18th century, from an Alpine French dialect prevalent in a region where persons with such a condition were especially common; it saw wide medical use in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and then spread more widely in popular English as a markedly derogatory term for a person who behaves stupidly.
