Wonder what to use for MongoDb. "Mongo" is a nasty slur for a person with Downs syndrome in Norwegian

  I was told mongoloid was the politically correct term to use instead of retarded lol Personally I always thought it sounded more demeaning, kinda sounds like some less developed homosapian ancestor, almost like calling someone a neanderthal

    I don't think that term has been appropriate for a long time... Wikipedia seems to indicate similarly. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongolian_idiocy https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongolian_idiocy I saw someone on Rocket League use that term as an insult. When I said it was a slur, they said it just meant "stupid", heh. No, buddy... there's a lot more to it than that.

      There was a lot more to it than that. Insults tend to gradually lose their meaning until they just become synonyms for "stupid". E.g. "idiot", "dumb", "gay".
