I understand that he used it in the derogotory way, I was just pointing out that most people, including myself, misuse it because the word has become so common. Let's say he flips the adjectives and says "This is so ridiculously naive and an extremely retarded statement, coming from someone who doesn't have a clue." It sounds exactly the same. When ridiculous and retarded come to mean the same thing then we have a problem.

retard can be used as a completely objective statement

i.e. "the trees growth was retarded by the cold weather"


I am just guessing, but I think the word comes from the french verb retarder which means "to be late" or something similar.

Calling someone a retard, meaning slow or dumb, is an insult, but saying something is retarded can be taken literally as meaning. It's just that the word is used so much that it has too much negativity attached to it, just like the word gay being used to describe a tv show you don't like etc.

Thank you for making this thread even more gay and retarded than it already was.

His condescending tone can be pretty irritating but at least he isn't pompous.

He may be pompous in the sense he has a high degree of confidence he is right and everybody else doesn't get it. However in another important regard he is not - he allows people to insult him own company website. I find this a redeming quality.

What?... Oh wait!...
