Note
A regular plural, made with a plain -s and belonging only to the noun. The rare adjectival use, meaning "idiotic", never takes the ending. Nearly every living sense of the word is an insult, so the plural usually lumps a whole group together with contempt. The old clinical meaning, defined by mental age and IQ, is obsolete, and the word is no longer a neutral label for anyone.
