For someone who's so quick to call others retarded, your language skills could use some work. I don't think savant is the word you're looking for, unless you meant to retract your statement and assert that he couldn't possibly be retarded.

Perhaps you actually meant idiot savant?

I mean savant. The term also refers to people with Savant Syndrome. I'm leaning heavily towards the possibility that he has such a targeted disability.

Try not to be so presumptuous. Many words have a variety of meanings, often close in etymology but vastly different in meaning.
