Tell that to the MongoDB-gang..

"Mongo" is a norwegian/swedish(?) slang for a retarted person. It's derived from the word "mongoloid" which was an person with Downs or a similar syndrome. The latter word is not commonly used anymore.

[detaro → Quai]

In German as well.

[dawkins → detaro]

And in Spanish

Actually, mongoloid (and similar) is the word. "Mongo" alone is not that bad and it's a prefix to many words.
