Yes, it refers to the usage that was first used in the language, mine being that. I also stated it is the common usage.
*looks at the history of the word "idiot"*
If you admit that then you know that you can't call it "factual" now can you?

You constantly bring up IQs.
You brought it up, actually, when you tried to pass of Shaky's "idiocy" as "factual". How can someone pass of idiocy as factual? To be honest, I wouldn't have said anything at all if you wouldn't have tried to pass off your opinion as factual...AND I wouldn't have pointed it out with anyone else other than you, Bardock42 because you have "learned me" to "split hairs" about everything. 😄

You are correct...the original use was for a laymen or uneducated person..I concede that point...it doesn't change the fact that I corrected your trying to pass of Shaky's "idiocy" as "factual".

Even if that was true, it still has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
Yes it does in two different ways. I brought the discussion, lamely, back to President of the US and YOU brought up that IQ tests are highly criticised. Those quotation marks are not for my health, idiot.

ou do realize you are an idiot (common usage) and all the trying to appear intelligent (non IQ based) won't work if you continue to make idiotic statements
Indeed...I concede the point that idiot's original use is NOT based in psychology...I only thought it was since it was used in psychology as far back as the 19th century and you originally used the modern definition to make your point. That still does not change my entire point of bringing it up to begin with...you can't pass something off such as the context in which you used the word "idiot" as "factual".
I committed a logical fallacy by supporting my conclusion with one incorrect piece of evidence...however, my original point still stands that you incorrectly tried to pass off his idiocy as "factual".
Let me show you how something can be factual...
Factually, dadudemon farts 20+ times a day. (no doubt, b***hes)
