(From dictionary.com)
The legitimate definition:
Retarded
–verb (used with object)
1. to make slow; delay the development or progress of (an action, process, etc.); hinder or impede.
This term is being eliminated across the U.S by advocates for the developmentally disabled because for individuals of higher functioning intellectual impairment, it is demeaning and belittling.
Unfortunately, the word "retarded" (in my opinion) is frequently used--but only by shallow people easily influenced by societal expectations. The slang for "retarded" is frequently used to express contempt or disgust at a person, situation, or idea. Basically, anything the person who says it can't wrap their head around.
