Hard of thinking (n.) 


If not actually stupid, then somewhat thick, dim-witted and lacking in commonly held mental faculties. 

As a result of recent EU legislation, the hard of thinking will be required to wear an orange badge containing a distinctive upside-down question mark symbol (¿) when frequenting establishments where serious or non-trivial discussions may take place—i.e. everywhere outside of their own homes.

At least 50% of television programmes, particularly news, current affairs and documentaries will also be required to provide special subtitles for the hard of thinking, and additional parking spaces will be provided at local supermarkets and other facilities for such people on the grounds that they are too dense to understand that the spaces marked for use by disabled shoppers or those with young families are not intended for them.
