"'''Slow-in-the-minds'''" and "'''slow minded'''" are [[CWC-isms]] that refer to mentally retarded, crazy, and/or generally stupid people. (Other than [[Chris]] himself, of course.) The term was first seen in [[Chris]]'s school project "[[A Week With Christian Chandler]]."
Apparently Chris uses this term to refer to the mentally retarded or mentally ill kids who ride the short bus home. Not all "slow-in-the-minds" ride the special bus, though, so the term might also refer to the mentally retarded, the simply dumb, and perhaps bullies. Chris obviously [[fails]] to realize that ALL teenagers in high-school act stupid — not because they are retarded, though, but because they are young, immature, and having fun. Chris is probably [[Wes Iseli|jealous]] that other people, and not him, can enjoy themselves in ways that are beyond his limited social skills. In short, one might surmise that the term refers to anybody Chris thinks is dumber than him, for any of a number of reasons.
"Slow-in-the-minds" hits a fine trifecta of points. One, it displays Chris's arrogance, seeing as how it applies to so many classes of people, all of whom he considers "slower" than he. Two, it shows Chris's lip-service attention to fitting in to society, since it's a piss-poor euphemism on its own and even worse when used in a school project. Three, there's a delicious irony in Chris decrying students who are "slow in the mind", even though Chris mental aptitude is dubious.
In a number of responses from the [[Mailbag]], Chris has explained that he finds the mentally handicapped (especially those who also have physical [[duck|deformities]]) creepy, and likens them to zombies.<ref>[[Mailbag_5#In which Chris speaks ill of the handicapped|Mailbag 5]]</ref><ref>[[Mailbag_11#Elevators are important for the handicapped, so they don't want any phobias|Mailbag 11]]</ref> Chris's bigotry extends to his fellow [[autistic]]s — he speaks in cruel and derisive terms about the various speech and physical problems that are thrust upon these innocent individuals, whereas he (as a self-proclaimed "[[Chris and his Ego|high functioning]]" autistic) is [[Aspergers (CWCipedia article)|pure and clean]]. He barely seems to consider "lower-functioning" autistics human.
