Wikepedia states

“Much like today’s socially acceptable terms idiot and moron, which are also defined as some sort of mental disability, when the term retard is being used in its pejorative form, it is usually not being directed at people with mental disabilities. Instead, people use the term when teasing their friends or as a general insult.”

Is it only a slur if directed at soneone with mental disabilities? Is it a slur if durected at onself?

Whats lemmies take on this?

    I used my baby mittens with you because I felt you just started your internet journey.

    I’m not feeling ‘vein enough’ if you are incapable to read the room.

    this whole thread is proof of that.

    • Did you know read the room is a euphemism for shut the fuck up, fall in line and be normal like everyone else. Quite fitting for the topic and hand hey?

      Not always a good thing to fall in line the german population learned that the hard way. But dont worry im sure uve got 6million ways to weasel ur way out of this predicament.

      Yes insert the whatever its called rule here.
