room-temperature IQ

( quant.)

   [IBM] 80 or below (nominal room temperature is 72 degrees Fahrenheit,
   22  degrees  Celsius).  Used  in describing the expected intelligence
   range  of  the {luser}. "Well, but how's this interface going to play
   with the room-temperature IQ crowd?" See {drool-proof paper}. This is
   a   much   more  insulting  phrase  in  countries  that  use  Celsius
   thermometers.
