Cretinous person? I think you might be a bit confused too.."Cretinism is a condition of severely stunted physical and mental growth due to untreated congenital deficiency of thyroid hormones (hypothyroidism) or from prolonged nutritional deficiency of iodine." This is not to be confused with being a "fucking twat".

Arf...Now that is childish.
Or is it pedantic? I always get the two mixed up...

Cretinismcomes from the mediaeval French Chretien, or Christian - the original sense of "pure" or "simple" came to mean "simple-minded". The medical definition was added later.
Cretinism is childishness of a sort - but it's more pejorative.
