I don't find either of those expressions offensive. In the same vein, when my friend is slow-witted about something, I may call him a ######. Sometimes I may even call him mentally challenged.
The negative connotation doesn't come from the word '######' -- It comes from the fact that mentally challenged people are inferior to non-mentally challenged people. The same way that, generally speaking, girls are inferior to boys in terms of throwing and blind people are inferior to Seeing people.
