Talk:mong

I cannot find any support for the definition "Shortened version of Mongoloid, a person with Down's syndrome". Please provide supporting reference, or remove it. Hebrides 22:06, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

From my experience, its usage in Britain these days, it's almost never used to refer to someone with Down's syndrome (I'd also say "mongoloid" is pretty dated as a perojative). It's usually used to mean "an obnoxious or stupid person". Obviously it isn't a reliable reference, but most definitions of it on UrbanDictionary have the current usage as such. I suggest we add it, and possibly label the definition as "A person with Down's syndrome" as dated. --Inops (talk) 01:38, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Really "obnoxious", and not just stupid? Equinox ◑ 20:47, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
 * It was just a stab at adding the current slang, change it if you wish. --Inops (talk) 20:59, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
