Often times, retard is used as a slur. That's probably why you looked this up, but I thought it'd be funny to give an actual definition to it as well. So yeah, you learned something! It's not always a slur, sometimes it's used to mean something else, too. But under those contexts, it's best to use "slow" or "delay" as opposed to this word, due to the negative connotation this word holds bu default.

It means "very stupid" but in a more hilarious, weird, and/or spontaneous way. From the Latin word for "slow".
If you want to tick off a politically correct person, just say it. They think it's mean because people with mental problems are not always stupid, except you can't call those people "retarded" in the first place, and nobody cares anyway. Plus, once again, it's from the Latin word for "slow".

1. Word used to describe someone who is stupid and NOT someone who suffers from a mental disability. You can use it to describe a person who has a fully formed brain, but keeps fucking up.
2. Only an ignorant jackass would call someone who is mentally handicapped a retard.
3. Only a retard (see above) would be upset simply by the use of the word retard.
