The only word in the world that is considered offensive when used properly and used improperly. If used as a replacement for the word stupid someone will immediately point out how you're being offensive. On the contrary, if you call someone who is mentally handicapped retarded, you will also be called offensive.
Person one: You just chugged a 2 liter of Coke and a box of Mentos? You retard.
Person two: Hey, that's offensive! (Proceeds to vomit Coke everywhere)

Person one: Aww, poor Timmy is retarded.
Person two: Hey, that's offensive!

Get the retarded mug.
A word used to describe someone who is profoundly stupid. A type of stupidity that is an insult to intelligence itself. Politically correct people would like you to be rude to someone in a less offensive way, perhaps by calling them dumb instead. This ignores the fact that dumb, idiot, and many other similar insults used today were all old-timey technical terms for retards. It also ignores the fact that any word used to describe someone of below average ability in any area is an insult to someone with average ability or higher in that area.
<<This party is retarded.

>>Dude! You can't say that anymore. You have to say the party is lame, or it's dumb, or something else!

>> Get the fuck out of here with that bullshit. You just insulted people who cannot walk and people who cannot talk.
