A common misspelling of the word retard. It can also be used ironically to mock those who cannot spell, or just for fun.

A misspelling of the word "retard" that means the same thing. Also a way to censor "retard" or "retarded" in a way that is publicly accepted as "retard" is seen as somewhat offensive.

Term used to describe a low skill IT support professional that doesn’t actually know how to fix device issues so just restarts the machine knowing it resets everything and at least works around the problem. ‘Restarts’ are typically low motivation, neurotic individuals, yet over their career amazingly can weasel their way to senior technology leadership positions (typically in academia).
Student 1: Hey buddy, you struggling with that pc again? why don’t you call support?
Student 2: Yeah, it’s hanging and crashing a lot, but you know they’ll just send one of their Restarts to look at it. Waste of time!
Student 3: hey, I heard they just promoted ‘the’ original Restart to Head of Technology now - can you believe it!
Student 1: oh what! come on, how? He couldn’t even fix a printer paper jam once…he got his balls caught in the output tray and split his scrotum.
