Stupids

Term used by {samurai} for the {suit}s who employ them.

Succinctly expresses an attitude at least as common, though

usually better disguised, among other subcultures of hackers.

There may be intended reference here to an SF story originally

published in 1952 but much anthologised since, Mark Clifton's

"Star, Bright". In it, a super-genius child classifies humans

into a very few "Brights" like herself, a huge majority of

"Stupids", and a minority of "Tweens", the merely ordinary

geniuses.
