    It depends. Is it a sensitive idiot?

    Not unless the person calling cries "foul" when it is re-directed back toward them. If you cant stand the heat coming back to you, then dont dish it out.

    It is best not to resort to name calling. We all do sometimes, but it is better to stick to describing behavior. On this point, I agree with that masked man who posted previously.

    While I don't recall the precise definition of "idiot," I think it is related to very low IQ, between imbecile and moron. "Idio" means something like "unique," out there on a limb somewhere so to speak. An idiolect, for example, is a language or way of speaking peculiar to an individual.

    Am I an idiot if I behave like one? Am I a monkey if I climb a tree for a banana?

    Enough analysis.

    No, it is seldom wrong to do that. However, at times "braindead moron loser" is a better choice.
