I need a big word?
does anybody have a big word for idiot or tiny or small, maybe?
Top answer
Technically, idiot has a very specific meaning for someone profoundly retarded and there is no exact synonym. Idiot is a psychological term for someone having a mental age less than three. It has also come to mean unintelligent in general, usually as an insult for someone who is not retarded.

- For that meaning you could use ignoramous.
- For tiny, you could use infinitesimal or miniscule.

Here are a couple:
ignoramus
imbecile
These are quite a few slang words used as insults, too.
Tiny - minuiscule, diminuitive, teeny, minute, microscopic, (colloquial): itty-bitty, (itsy-bitsy), teeny-weeny
