morons
Dimwits and dolts
Morons is the plural of moron—a person of notably low intelligence or poor judgment.
The word began as a clinical term for mild intellectual disability but shed that meaning entirely; it now functions as a general-purpose insult for anyone acting stupidly: The morons in accounting lost the invoice again.
It carries less sting than idiot in most contexts.
