I hate that word. Too many mentally handicapped people in my life for me to look kindly on that one. :angry3:
my wife calls me a retard regularly, and my sister has a very severe case of cerebral paulsy. Should I be annoyed? I'm not...
it's not a common word in the UK.
I chose not to be upset, since that's nearly always the right choice in these matters. And of ourse I know my wife means no harm by it

I heard it a lot growing up. it was the word du jour. And it was never said kindly.
Don't get me wrong, I don't take offense or get horridly upset. I just don't like the use.
I think the worst for me though, is hearing someone else use it in reference to themselves.

Doc, I would like to see your hobbies expressed through images, as long as you exclude the German and Japanese one's.
