"Intello" is not derogatory, it's just short for intellectual.
- rntksi 8y agoIt can be derogatory. But yes it's not that commonly used as a defamatory comment.
- coldtea 8y agoWell: intello m, f (plural intellos) (informal, derogatory) highbrow (informal, derogatory) nerd, egghead Also, "intello coincée" and such. It can also stand for just shorthand, as many terms have dual informal derogatory and friendly use (for that matter, geek has also been used positively in the US as well for a few decades).
