"Stupid" is an English word that dates back to the late Middle Ages (around the 14th–15th century), from the Latin stupidus, meaning stunned or amazed, and later figuratively applied to someone dull or lacking intelligence. It is used to describe a person who lacks common sense, the ability to understand, or learns slowly compared with others. The term is mildly to moderately derogatory but not vulgar, commonly used in informal speech, criticism, or casual insults, and can range from teasing to serious disapproval depending on context and tone.

"Dumb" is an English word that dates back to Old English (around the 9th–10th century), originally meaning "mute" or unable to speak. Over time, especially from the 16th century onward, it developed a figurative meaning referring to someone lacking intelligence or the ability to think clearly. The term is used in informal, educational, or critical contexts to describe poor judgment or mental slowness. It is mildly derogatory but not vulgar, and its offensiveness depends on tone and context, sometimes used teasingly rather than harshly.

Nuts is a slang adjective that appeared in early–mid 20th-century English to describe someone behaving in a crazy, irrational, or mentally unstable manner. The term likely comes from the idea of "nuts" as small, hard, or loose objects, metaphorically applied to a person's mind being "loose" or unbalanced. Historically, it was informal and mildly derogatory, used in both joking and critical contexts. Today it remains colloquial and slightly vulgar, commonly used in casual, humorous, or emphatic speech rather than polite or formal conversation.
