We're all fools, of course, especially today, which is April Fools' Day. But that doesn't mean that we're morons, does it.
Is there a heavier, more honking word in the language than moron?
One more full of bad-feeling and contempt?
Well, I can't think of one, at the moment.
Amusingly, there used to be a place called Moron in California, but its name has now been changed to Taft (a taft, as if happens, is a flattened end to a bit of lead piping).
A moron is also an extra gene that's sometimes found in a bacteria-infecting virus.

Oh, and as a final word of persuasion on this subject, may I just remind you of an old saying?
It takes one to know one.
It takes one to know one.
I think the TAFT thing is even more interesting than the moron stuff. Who knew? Moron is not a word I think I've ever used in any context, I'm happy to say!
