n., obviously meaning retarded. Pronounced letter-by-letter (AR-EE-TEE-AY-AR-EE-TEE-
DEE), it is a play on the acronyms
ADD and
ADHD, used in situations where someone claims Attention Defecit Disorder or Attention Defecit Hyperactivity Disorder as the cause of their idiotic behavior.
A: Sorry about that, man. I've got
ADD.
B: You sure that's not RETARDED?
I was acting like such an ass that I thought I might have ADHD, but no; turns out it's just RETARDED.
Hey, I really am taking meds for
ADD, so
don't say I have RETARDED! I'm not retarded!
