So based on the link you posted here, one should also not call people Morons, Idiots, or Imbeciles because that might hurt and offend actual morons, idiots, and imbeciles?

Moron: describes a person with a mental age in adulthood of between 8 and 12.
Idiot: a person with a very severe mental retardation.
Imbecile: term for a degree of mental retardation. Applied to people with an IQ of 26-50, between "moron" (IQ of 51-70) and "idiot" (IQ of 0-25).
