"Maroons"? They're a color?
"Maroon is a dark brownish red color which takes its name from the French word marron, or chestnut."
How about "morons"?
"Moron is a very stupid or foolish person. Moron is a term once used in psychology to denote mild intellectual disability.[1] The term was closely tied with the American eugenics movement.[2] Once the term became popularized, it fell out of use by the psychological community, as it was used more commonly as an insult than as a psychological term. It is similar to imbecile and idiot."
Calling them "maroons" made you look more like a "moron". Just saying...
