A savage word for "stupid", "dumb", "idiotic", and/or "moronic".
It has quite a history. It originated from the latin term "retard" which means "to slow down". It then lead to the FORMER medical term (which got phased out/replaced with "intellectual disability") "mental retardation" which meant an Intelligence Quotient (IQ) of 70 or lower. "Mental Retardation" was the noun that lead to the adjective "mentally retarded" which then lead to just simply "retarded".
"Retarded" became a slang/derogatory term for "stupid" and politically correct people disliked it. That's why "mental retardation" got phased out in federal documents and alot of medical documents. Terms like "idiot" and "moron" have a similar history as "retarded".
With such a history, politically correct people often dislike it when people use the word "retarded" both formally (when referring to someone with a low IQ level) and informally (when just referring to a stupid person who doesn't necessarily have a low IQ level).
About 95% of the time when people use the term "retarded" they're using it INFORMALLY (when they just mean "stupid" but are not aiming/directing it at or referring to someone with a low level IQ). Politically correct people don't like this. Yet people who use the term "retarded" informally, aren't even trying to insult those with low IQ levels. This is fine.
About 5% of the time when people say "retarded" they're talking about people with low IQ levels. They're jerks and this is unacceptable.
Informal:
Person A-That person who went drunk driving is retarded.
Person B-Haha
Person C (politically correct)-Don't say "retarded" because my cousin has Down Syndrome.
Person A-Shutup. I'm not aiming it at your cousin. You're the one being retarded.
Formal:
Person D-My neighbor has a 14 year old kid who needs a babysitter.
Person E-Why?
Person D-He is retarded. He can't use the
bathroom or microwave. He is retarded.
Person F-STFU! You are not supposed to call people like him "retarded"
Savage:
Person G-You are stupid!
Person H-You are retarded!

A savage synonym for idiotic or stupid. It has quite a history.
"Retard" is the latin word for "to slow down" a while back. "Retard" lead to "mental retardation" in like the 1960s. "Mental Retardation" was a medical term for an Intelligence Quotient (I.Q.) of 70 or lower. "Mental Retardation" lead to "mentally retarded". "Mentally retarded" lead to just simply "retarded". "Retarded" then became a slang/Pejorative/derogatory for "idiotic" or "stupid". Politically correct people didn't like it. That is why "mental retardation" was phased out and replaced with "intellectual disability" in federal documents and often times medical/educational documents. The words "idiot" and "idiotic" have a similar history as "retarded".
To keep it simple, "retarded" usually isn't directed or aimed at those who are handicapped or have "intellectual disability" and usually just used as a savage word for "stupid". Only politically correct people who are retarded would get offended with the word "retarded" when it isn't being directed or aimed at those who have an IQ at or below 70. Only an asshole would call a handicapped person with intellectual disability "retarded".
Example:
Person A-The driver is going 30 when the speed limit is 50. The driver's retarded.
Person B-Haha
Person C-"retarded" is not nice. just say "stupid"
Person A-Shut up. You are also being retarded.
Another example:
Person D-People with down syndrome are retarded
Person E-Shut up! Asshole!
