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)

juvenile breakdown

A type of mental breakdown. When one's inhibitions of maturity, gained from years of life experience, are temporarily stripped away, this results in complete juvenile behavior such as cracking up at incredibly lame jokes that would normally entertain an undeveloped mind.

The only known cause is extreme boredom. When one is bored beyond belief, their subconscious mind must use its surroundings to entertain itself, even though there is nothing of actual entertainment value in the immediate surroundings, resulting in one exhibiting completely juvenile traits.

To treat a case juvenile breakdown, the victim or someone close to him/her must seek an outlet to quell the excessive boredom of the victim.
