Perhaps you just could have used "hairy." I'm not criticizing here! I love that you use big words! Positively sequipedalian, you (I'm not sure I have that word right...). I think intellectually challenged is a stretch. Hirsute is a vocab word for graduate school entrance exams in the US, so 17 years of government indoctrination is expected for someone to know that word. Or rudimentary homeopathy instruction, because we use it quite often.
