    Fun fact! ‘Mong’ is an abbreviation of ‘mongoloid’, a term used as a slur for people with Down’s Syndrome. The fun part is that the reason for the term being used is quite clever! Those with Down’s Syndrome have a usually noticeable difference in their facial structure, with a wide, flatter face and smaller eyes. Features that are rarely found elsewhere, first discovered in natives of the country Mongolia!
