    A Person that is: brainless, stupid, child-like, and full of pointless information that makes no sense and appeals only to other cretins. They can be found in abundance in every single populated internet forum, where they race to post as many mind-numbing messages as possible in a single session. In addition, they seemingly interbreed with other cretins, ensuring that their cretinous genes continue long after they end up dead meaning the Internet will never be rid of their kind. Mores the pity.

      A word associated to people whose lack of intelligence, manners/etiquette, appreciation, moral fibre and glaring social ineptitude, which in turn allows upstanding, educated, decent, moral, intelligent, socially respectful and hard working people to perceive them as degenerates (owing to their inherent and blatantly obvious flaws). A cretin is usually linked, but not limited to the following:

      People who hang around on street corners, shops, public access routes or any other place where the intimidation factor to ordinary, decent folk is a bonus. Note: Participants are usually loud, obnoxious, drunk, seeking trouble, showing off or a combination of all 5.

      Football hooligans who wear specific clothing to associate themselves to their club and make a point that they are looking for trouble e.g. Burberry caps, jeans etc. Also, football hooligans, loudmouths, drunkards etc in general are typically cretinous.

      Ethnic minorities whose objective is to intimidate, steal, sell drugs, flunk off school, spew forth native commonalities in a drudgingly pathetic manner (you know, the usual).

      Unappreciative partners of seemingly decent, good-looking females whose attitude is mainly focused towards chavalry rather than the more honourable, manly and decent chivalry attitude.

      Yobbo teens who try (without success) to appear bigger than they are, sound educated or coherent (impossible) and try (also without success) to get one over on anyone who ensues an argument with them by uttering common anecdotes, failed educated grammar and vocabulary and socially hip (usually obtained from cheesy American soaps or other cretins) body movements e.g. talk to the hand..No, I wont talk to the hand, shut up, youre pathetic, im talking to you direct otherwise I wouldnt be facing you, you cretin.

      People whose sole purpose in life is to drain the life-force (i.e. human spirit, positivity, ambition and general well-being) from people whose success in life is related to said character traits.

      People whose aura affects you directly or indirectly either through a general depressive demeanour, negative attitude etc.

        An encourageable greenhorn. No matter how much you try, the person has no idea of what he is being instructed, nor does he care. The person is hopeless

          A cretin can only be described as a really [dumb], [moron], or [idiot]
          although cretin sounds much more official.
          The word cretin is derived from the latin kretton. Which means [brainless ghoul]

            The lowest form of humanity. A person that is a waste of air. A person who is lazy and dosent contribute anything to society.

              Severe mental retardation caused by a major deficiency in the [thyroid gland].

              A rather entertaining insult used by intelligent people to describe people who wont get the meaning of the insult even after a second or third explanation.

                  person inflicted with a thyroid deficiency resulting in stunting of mental and physical growth. In other words, a mentally-challenged dwarf. Derives from the Swiss French term for a Christian. You do the math.

                      A word derived from [the French] slang term crétin (/kʀ[et]ɛ̃/) roughly translated as idiot although in reality is often used in a more offensive way. It may also mean geek in the context of [the French language] but is not used in this way in English.

                          A disgusting human, in every way [physically] possible. Often a person who attempts to make jokes at other people to [hide] his true inside feelings of [rejection].
