I bet they don't like being called slow, either!

The proper term is actually mentally handicapped, I just felt like "retard" added that extra bit of flare.

That's cool, forgot all about those!

Remember the one's you'd braid together, kinda deadhead looking, and you could add beads as well. I had one left and gave it to my 6 year old. He washed it and it was so old it fell apart. Good memories.

Actually, the medically correct term is retard. Retard doesn't even apply to the mentally handicapped, we just placed it with that group.

To cause to move or proceed slowly; delay or impede.
v.intr.
To be delayed.
n.

1. A slowing down or hindering of progress; a delay.
2. Music. A slackening of tempo.

You could say your car is becoming retarded if it runs out of gas, see? So retard was just applied to the mentally handicapped.
