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.
