I don't know how wide-spread the movie is, but in the US "Rainman" is well-known.  Short synopsis:  younger brother 
finds out about older brother; older brother has mental challenges (I don't recall which one); they spend about a week 
together while younger brother tries to straighten out his life.  So unless you're talking about Native American dances 
it's an inappropriate moniker to apply to someone, particularly when you're being insulting.

And having said all that, we can have disagreements without name calling.
