My definition of man-flu is just over exaggerating your illness’ symptoms to get what you want (time off work, sympathy, watching tv under the bed covers).

If average intelligence is supposedly an IQ of 100 as an absolute
benchmark, maybe 50 percent does have “below average intelligence.” But average is now supposedly 2 standard deviations above or below the means, which means that most people fall in that range (20 IQ points). It used to be 1 standard deviation, but it was getting too expensive to care for all those people with IQs between 80 and 90, so with a magical POUF! a whole lot of people stopped being developmentally disabled.

50 percent of people do have below average intelligence? It may be a few years since my statistics class, but I’m pretty sure this is not necessarily true. Now if you wanted to state that 50 percent of people have below median intelligence, then I might be inclined to agree with you.
