"Monoloid" is a derogatory term for a person who only speaks one language. This is based on the idea that monolingualism (only speaking one language) makes people dumb in specific ways. Without the ability to get distance from one's mother tongue, we don't realize how meaning works and we lose perspective. This results in always taking things literally and in a one dimensional way.
A huge issue with the American education system is that it produces so many monoloids!
Oh my god, he is such a monoloid...
These Bible thumpers don't even know how to interpret texts! They're monoloids!

Root: A combination of "dingus" and "gnat." Gnats are annoying little pesks, but's that's not their fault. Bugs don't choose to exist. Dingnats are similar, but they're human. Not only do they choose to exist, they refuse to take responsibility for their own burden of existence. Dingnats insist on making their problems everyone else's.
