I'm guilty of the use of "retarded", but generally only around my friends and I don't think I'm being particularly witty when I do it. It's just that it's sometimes the most effective word to convey how I feel about something or someone. Just being honest. Now, if I knew one of the people in my group had a sibling or close relative with some sort of learning disability then yeah, I probably wouldn't do it because I'm not trying to be a dick.
