Hey, let's me tell you something. Somewhat like Slangs, and somewhat funny.
THIS IS SOME WAYS TO CRITICIZE THE OTHERS "POLITELY" :
1. Not the sharpest pencil in the box
2. Not the brightest star in the galaxy
3. IQ lower than your average rock
4. Several aliens short of a UFO
5. Warning : Object in mirror are dumber than they appear.
6. HIs antenna doesn't pick up all the channels
7. If he had another brain, it would be lonely.
