intellectually juvenile

The term 'intellectually juvenile' politely describes someone who is unintelligent, unwise or just not the 'sharpest knife in the drawer'.

The term 'intellectually juvenile' applies to a person, or group of people, who are not as developed in their thinking as they should be for their age, education, experience, geographical location, social environment, etc.

Background: Most of the people who are constantly calling other people 'stupid' are well known to be 'not-so-bright-themselves', and thus the word 'stupid' has lost its credibility and power as a descriptive term. The word 'stupid' is overused, low brow and passé.

Ex.

Jim: Glenn! Did you just call me stupid !?!

Glenn: No, Jim. However, I most certainly implied that you are 'intellectually juvenile'. (said while smiling and in a nice tone)

-

Jim: OK! I thought you were calling me stupid, and, I was about to get very upset. Sorry.

Glenn: That's OK Jim. Most 'intellectually juvenile' people are blissfully unaware when a person calls them out on their errors, nonsense and lies, and they are generally oblivious when a sentient uses accurate, basic and descriptive words to describe 'intellectually juvenile' people to themselves.

Jim: You are a great friend, Glenn!

Glenn: I know. (smiling that smile he is well known for)

Intellectually Lazy

= Having no tolerance for mental pain/work to solve problems.
- having trouble solving a math problem? Give up and blame it on your teacher!
- have no idea how to think something through? Put it off and let someone else figure it out.
- having trouble understanding an argument of someone else? There's no need to understand them - they're wrong anyway!
- have an unsettled question that bothers you? Leave it unanswered. Your questions don't matter!
- not sure if the author of a news article is right? Just hope they know what they're doing and don't think about it!

These are examples on how to be intellectually lazy.

Don't be this way!
PHONE CHOICE
Jonathan: Do these people know where their phones are coming from?!
Zacarius: No. Either they do not care where the phones come from or they try not to think about it.
They must be intellectually lazy when choosing products.
Jonathan: It's very likely that they are, considering that the ones they use come from slave-wage factories with poor working conditions.
Zacarius: They should buy x-phones. They're evidently eco-friendly, made in good factories, a good investment for long-term use, and user-friendly.

intellectually inept

Person having the ability to reason and understand but makes decisions and choices not suibable to the purpose.
Person's rent is due but no matter they take 1/2 the money and get a tatoo saying the landlord won't mind. Later that afternoon they decide to buy beer and go to the beach because the landlord won't like getting half the rent. Rest of week is spent avoiding the landlord. Finally landlord catches up with the renter and has him evicted on the basis that he is intellectually inept and this pattern will likely continue.

Intellectually Disabled

The politically correct term for "mentally retarded." It became more widespread after the word "retard", originally used to describe a person who legitimately has an abnormally low IQ, was gradually used more and more as a pejorative term for people who suffer from developmental disorders.
"My cousin has an IQ of 62. He is intellectually disabled."
