You have to remember this is back in the day when the average person did not have as much faculty with medical terms (including "penis" or "vagina") as they do today. He sounds like an asshole, true, but we all know what the disease is when we hear the name. "Trisomy 21" will take a few more years to come to the mind as easily.
