No real mention of maturity. Pretty much sticks to things that would be deemed offensive to most people. In fact that term is included in one of the definitions.
I imagine it would have been more accurate to state that they are immature rather than idiots, if commenting on maturity was the intent. Either way, I think it could be deemed offensive.
I took "foolish" to be an indicator of immaturity, not intellect. YMMV.
I took "foolish" to be an indicator that they resembled a cold dessert of pureed fruit mixed with whipped cream or custard.
I guess we all see things differently.
LMAO Your gonna get infracted!!!
