I know that word, and that is one of yours (english)!

Talking spanish, you can choose:
imbécil - bobalicón - cabrón - ciruelo - desgraciado - gilipollas - paquete - tarado

Moron is still the spanish name of the base where the plane crashed, and a pilot were killed!!

Just a perspective, but 3500 people died today in car crashes around the world. No public outcry or sentiment, but when an aircraft crashes it is major news.........?

Proper name: Base Aérea de Morón de la Frontera. Morón not Moron

Base of the 11 fighter wing, takes the emblem of Commander Joaquín García Morato, top spanish air ace with 40 aircraft shot down.

You are quite right, Matt, but the amount of aircrafts will never beat cars! And many of those car crashes involves morons.

Thanks papi for clearing out the Moron mistake! So good to have inside knowledge from all over the world on this site.
