I threw it out during a production meeting I had no business being invited to last week.
The room laughed, but I suspect the brass will refrain from inviting me to those meetings from henceforth.
I called my middle son retarded over the weekend when he took their Dodge Durango down a really bad pasture road to the river and broke the radiator in a ditch, just hours after I warned him not to try and take the Durango down that trail. He was legit being a retard.
I have a personal rule where I won't call someone with Down's a retard, but everyone else is fair game when they're acting like retards.

As Michael Scott said, you don't call a retard, retarded. You call someone acting retarded a retard. Or something like that.

Def shouldn’t call an actual mentally disabled person “retarded”. It’s discourteous if nothing else.
Well, it wasn’t discourteous for decades. It was the common term. What happens when “mentally disabled” becomes discourteous.
Now let’s talk Oriental.

It’s been a pejorative for 30+ years. The fact that it’s a pejorative is the only reason it’s used here.

Write this on the white board in the office and have everyone gather around as you ask people to read it out loud slowly:
“I am Sofa King we Todd Did!”
