An adjective that was originally just a synonym for slow. In the 20th century the word was used in the term mentally retarded, a broad term used to describe people with mental handicaps. Because of this, the word became strongly associated with mental disability. As time passed, people began using the word Retarded to describe people, places or things that they found dumb or unappealing. Later on, the use of the word became considered offensive or taboo by many people, because of it's association with mental disabilities.

Get the Retardmug. 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

Get the Retardmug. A VERY offensive word that shouldn’t be used. It’s not a synonym for stupid and is no longer used as a medical term as of 2016

Get the Retardmug. 
Someone who sees themselves as superior to others intellectually completely unaware of their shortcomings in this same department and thinks this word means handicap people, don’t get sarcasm and are VERY serious
That retard cut me off, gave me the finger and then told me how to drive while wearing his mask by himself in his Chevy Malibu
