What does MORON mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A foolish or stupid person; used as an insult.
Calling someone a moron is a blunt, informal insult aimed at their judgement or intelligence, used in heated argument or casual mockery rather than in careful writing. The word began life about a century ago as a clinical label doctors applied to mild intellectual disability, but that use is now obsolete and considered offensive; today a moron simply means someone acting foolishly.
