Two words! One Day! (I promise I'm still writing productive things- MOM)
This word is one you already know. It's just one of my favorites


Retarded

Did you know it's OK to say retarded when referring to a person of limited mental abilities? It's also OK to call someone retarded (even to their face!). You can be extra P.C. and add mentally to the front if you like.

It's not OK to say Retard or Tard. As is - Hey Retard! Or - I looked like a tard in that picture. Bad form guys. Poor form.

But think. Being retarded is one of the few things a person will always admit to if he really is in fact retarded. Truly dumb people will never admit to being dumb. A real idiot will never call himself that. A retard will say he is retarded day in and day out.

Brilliant!

...or will he/she? Maybe there are retards trying to live like ordinary people...

Do retarded people actually know that they are? It's a word I find I don't use that often anymore. PC used to be "mentally challenged", but now is leaning more toward "developmentally delayed". We even ask patients if they have any developmental delays when admitting them to the hospital. The sad thing is, it's almost a mockery, cause if they had any delays they probably wouldn't be able to answer the question.



interesting. retarded means slow and there's no harm in being slow. u still get there.
but being stupid makes no damn sense! lol


EXACTLY!
