Hey, pkc, have you ever read up on the word cretin before? I'd never quite known the etymology behind it (and still don't!), but it's in fact an amazing word!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cretin
| quote: | | The etymology of cretin is uncertain. Several hypotheses exist. The most common derivation provided in English dictionaries is from the Alpine French dialect pronunciation of the word Chrétien ("(a) Christian"), which was a greeting there. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the translation of the French term into "human creature" implies that the label "Christian" is a reminder of the humanity of the afflicted, in contrast to brute beasts.[1] Other sources suggest that Christian describes the person's "Christ-like" inability to sin, stemming, in such cases, from an incapacity to distinguish right from wrong. |
lololol, Christians/retards.
