You could replace it with something much more innocuous, like "imbiciles", that gets the same message across

Didn't we originally get rid of imbicile as it was felt to be derogatory so we replaced it with mental retardation? Which then went from a medical term to a derogatory term so now we have to find a new term that will eventually become offensive. Euphemism treadmill forever
