"Retarded" is a word, nothing more. It has no more or no less meaning than what you give to it. Sadly, practically the entire English language has been weaponized, radicalized and politicized to the point where we can barely say anything, anymore, without offending some snowflake leftist moron who "disapproves" of our use of this or that word even to the point where the classic "OK" hand sign has been branded "fascist hand gesture." In fact, it's gotten so bad that I've had to just throw up my hands, shrug and say screw it all, I'm not playing this game anymore.

With that said allow me to quote the amazing and famous Lieutenant Uhura from Star Trek: "Offended? By a word? Why would I be offended? We no longer fear words." Yeah, there's a really good lesson, there. STOP FEARING WORDS!
