    It seems to be getting more and more common and acceptable to use "retard" as an insult. I personally can't stand hearing it anymore, overly used IMO and actual retards wouldn't be too pleased hearing it used as an insult I'd imagine.

    Retards are not called retards anymore.

    It's a descriptive word now, as in, I was after a rake of drink with this fat munter and my man hose went retarded on me.
