The R-Word

Used to refer to the word “Retard” by certain groups who believe it is offensive to disabled people, because it was a medical term for people with intellectual disabilities and is now commonly used as an insult, which means “a stupid or foolish person, which is ironic because people in this group still often use words like “idiot”, “moron”, and “imbecile” which also used to be medical terms, but have since acquired a new definition.

Tim: You’re so retarded, Dan
Dan: Hey! Don’t use the R-word, idiot
Tim: Why is idiot ok but retard isn’t?
Dan: Uhhhhhhh…..
