I am speaking about the word retarded. It's a descriptive term used in modern dialect. i.e. "Dude, that's retarded." or "I want to smoke myself retarded."
As liberal as GAF is, I see it daily. People should understand it's an offensive word.
If you are actually speaking about mentally retarded people, the correct terminology is IDD. Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. i.e. "Yeah, my sister has Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. She suffers from Cerebral Palsy."
If you want to use it in your everyday dialect, please use another word. How about stupid instead? "Dude, that's stupid." or "Dude, I want to smoke myself stupid."
The R word is not allowed in my family. We are liberal democrats.
