Energetic performance Urban Dictionary

The term 'intellectually juvenile' politely describes someone who is unintelligent, unwise or just not the 'sharpest knife in the drawer'. The term 'intellectually juvenile' applies to a person, or group of people, who are not as developed in their thinking as they should be for their age, education, experience, geographical location, social environment, etc. Background: Most of the people who are constantly calling other people 'stupid' are well known to be 'not-so-bright-themselves', and thus the word 'stupid' has lost its credibility and power as a descriptive term. The word 'stupid' is overused, low brow and passé. - Urban Dictionary

A type of mental breakdown. When one's inhibitions of maturity, gained from years of life experience, are temporarily stripped away, this results in complete juvenile behavior such as cracking up at incredibly lame jokes that would normally entertain an undeveloped mind. The only known cause is extreme boredom. When one is bored beyond belief, their subconscious mind must use its surroundings to entertain itself, even though there is nothing of actual entertainment value in the immediate surroundings, resulting in one exhibiting completely juvenile traits. To treat a case juvenile breakdown, the victim or someone close to him/her must seek an outlet to quell the excessive boredom of the victim. Urban Dictionary
