cretin (n.) 1779, from French crétin (18c.), from Alpine dialect crestin, "a dwarfed and deformed idiot" of a type formerly found in families in the Alpine lands, a condition caused by a congenital deficiency of thyroid hormones, from Vulgar Latin christianus "a Christian," a generic term for "anyone," but often with a sense of "poor fellow." Related: Cretinism (1801).
Oh wait: that's a real one.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

1: n. A young person, usually below the age of 25, who behaves in a manner similar to that of a stereotypical African-American. Swagsters tend to be Caucasian, listen to rap or electric pop music, hold a heavy value on garments, electronic devises, be sub-literate, slow-witted, possess an infantile vocabulary, and appear lacking in the ability to think independently.
Example: The average IQ of a swagster is 80, just escaping borderline-mental retardation.
Non-example: Wazzup, mah fellow swagstah?
Synonyms: Swag-Fag, future high-school dropout, wigger(a) So not to be confused with a Swaggie then?

And before you ask, the term still applies. ABC did a documentary programme in 2004 on Grant ‘John’ Cadoret  , , , who still lives - completely off the grid - as a swaggie.
