mong


a derogitory term used to allege diminished mental capacity: That guy set his hair on fire! He's such a mong!

Contributor's comments: A friend of mine uses this - he's in his thirties and once referred to 'monging out' on the couch. It took me while to realise that he meant 'mongoloid'. He's from a regional part of Victoria and I gather the term was used in his primary schoolyard. He says it was a well-known term, when I questioned him.

Contributor's comments: I've heard 'mong' used, and have used mong during most of my life in Outer Brisbane areas.
