CRETIN


Meaning of CRETIN in English

transcription, транскрипция: [ /kret'in/ or /kree'tn/ n. ]

Congenital loser ; an obnoxious person; someone who can't do anything right. It has been observed that many American hackers tend to favor the British pronunciation /kret'in/ over standard American /kree'tn/; it is thought this may be due to the insidious phonetic influence of Monty Python's Flying Circus.
