I think you mean 'cretin.'
Means "a stupid person" and is used as a general term of abuse.

Slimeballs, assholes, jerks and degenerates are not stupid people per se, and those words are not synonymous.

A cretain sounds like a nice drink at poolside or a jaunty chapeau.

Not an insult, either one.

Unless you throw your cretain at someone, no.

Safety first.

Wait I thought they came with the little umbrella.

On a side note, those little umbrellas make for a better go the fuck away drink toss in face. They are actually a little sharp and will just stick to the buttheads face.

As I learned it a cretin has a congenital disease due to lack of thyroid secretion, characterised by thickness of neck, stunted growth and imperfect mental development. Myxoedema is the acquired form.

It's not some thing any one would put their hand up for.

Your future in rap is looking good as long as next time you slip the word Ho in there.

 

[Handley_Page]

Your future in rap is looking good as long as next time you slip the word Ho in there.

And use bad language!

Ho Ho Ho, is reserved for Christmas rap. Or is that wrap?

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and waddles like a duck, it sure as hell isn't an elephant.

As I learned it, "Cretin" is a person from Crete, as in the classical paradox,

"Epimenedes, the Cretin, avers that all Cretins are liars."

Ooo. Ancient syllogism paradox.

Yeah, but not as much fun as Cervantes' version of it. But, then, Cervantes wasn't a Cretin; he was a man of La Mancha.

They did it on Star Trek too.

Captain Kirk: Everything Harry tells you is a lie. Remember that. Everything Harry tells you is a lie.

Harcourt Fenton Mudd: Now listen to this carefully, Norman. I am... lying.

Norman: You say you are lying, but if everything you say is a lie, then you are telling the truth, but you cannot tell the truth because everything you say is a lie, but you lie... You tell the truth but you cannot for you lie... illogical! Illogical! Please explain! You are human. Only humans can explain their behavior! Please explain!

Captain Kirk: [giving him the same statement the androids have repeatedly given him several times before] I am not programmed to respond in that area.

Yes! The practical uses of paradox! It'll get the AI crowd every time.

My favourite version is the simplest and most elegant:

"This sentence is false."

There was smoke and everything.

Yeah. That there android burned out real good. Just like Bertrand Russell on the Barber Paradox.

I must have missed that episode.

 

[Tio_Narratore]

I must have missed that episode.

It might have been on Deep Thought 9...

 

[Handley_Page]

It might have been on Deep Thought 9...

"Talk the hind leg off a Donkey?
Aye,
But only I could persuade it go for a walk afterwards"

[or something like that]

PS. Deep Thought.
