The word “Retard” is used to offend a most likely disabled person. For example: a person that has a learning disability. From personal experience being called a retard is very hurtful to me and it left me thinking I was useless and utterly stupid (which I am but whatever). Just don’t use it unless u can actually use it. It’s a bad slur and yeah for whoever is reading this remember to drink water everyday and have a great day :)
Person 1: what a retard.
Person 2: *is offended and just feels sad now*
Person 3: hey what did He/she/they/ *input pronouns here* Do to u? (person 2)
Person 1: they have a learning disability
Person 3: well that wasn’t very nice. They need an apology.
Person 2: *happy*
Person 1: Sorry dude I noticed that was kinda messed up. Forgive me?
Person 2: yeah now let’s go listen to mindless self indulgence or something
Retard is when someone kills you with a paperclip!
Like WOW bogdan sure is a retard
"Retard" is a slur that was used from the 1400's to the 1900's as a genuine slur to discriminate against those with mental health issues such as autism or ADHD. In the 2000's its meaning has shifted to be synonymous with stupid and is no longer targeted towards those with mental health issues. Many people on the internet will call you an asshole for it, some will support you for it, use at your own risk.
TLDR; Originally a slur, now synonymous for stupid.
Person 1: That guy is stupid.
Person 2: Yeah he's retarded.
