Must admit I didnt realise it was associated with Downs syndrome. Where I come from it just refers to someone really thick...

Apols if I caused offence. didnt mean to.

Downs Syndrome used to be referred to as Mongolism, because of the facial features that characterise the condition resembling those of Mongolian people. Rightly, that name got dropped round about the 90s, but was used without causing offence up till then. The shortened term derives from that and has always been offensive.
