Apparently, the word "moron" is a completely American-made word. The Brits seem to be a little bitter about it. I'm not sure why, exactly.

Actually, it was a psychological term, so that's weird. It was used to describe someone who is slightly retarded. An idiot was someone who was severely retarded and "trainable" was somewhere in the middle, I think.
