A condition affecting a person on the basic genetic level in which one chromosome splits in three instead of two and causes heart defects, thyroid conditions, shorter extremities and slower brain development. Although, their brains are slower to develop, you won't find any of them judging so harshly that they will be sending ignorant definitions out for everyone to see. They will also never judge you for having no genetic reason to be as stupid as you so obviously represent yourself to be, as referenced by your definitions.
My niece has Down Syndrome and she is one of the joys of my life. She is not ugly in body nor in spirit. In fact, she loves unconditionally, so unlike those of us who take kindness for granted so much that we forget how to show it.

Technichally, Down Syndrome is a mental disability possesed from birth, where the 21st chromosome pair in each cell has an extra. This makes a total of 47 chromosomes per cell instead of the standard 46. This "little something extra" makes them learn and look a bit differently than most people.
People with Downs Syndrome can lead very normal lives, it just takes them more time and effort to learn. They are usually very honest and careing, and never judgemental. They make wonderful friends, because they usually have a refreshingly clear view of what does and does not matter in life.
Raised in the right environment (ie. a happy and nurturing family) kids with Down Syndrome are an asset to society. The biggest challange they face is the rude and downright hateful disrespect shown to them by ignorant people. People with Down Syndrom deserve respect just as much as anyone else.

a chromosomal (big word for smart people) disorder which effects someone for they're whole life. They have swollen looking eyes and difficulty with learning. they can also be insanely strong, i know a little girl with down syndrome, she is 9 and she can push an 80kg man to the ground. no problems. good thing is, they are very very nice people and generally more fun and outgoing than most of the nerds who will read this XD.
in short, if you call someone who did something stupid 'a downy' or 'down syndrome' you obviously don't know anyone who has it or have ever properly met someone who has it.
