To be fair retarded means slowed or delayed so how many times was anon retarded in getting to work?
That’s it, calling in retarded to work tomorrow.
Really changes the theme to Black Eyed Peas - Let’s Get Retarded
It would be funny if the song got slower and slower
You’re asking too much from them
Wow. I really thought that was going to be a misheard lyric video or parody. Had no idea.
I never actually understood why retarded was used by mechanics when a car wasn’t running right “The timing on this is a bit retarded” but now I know. Thank you
surprisingly the opposite is advanced timing, protarded isn’t a word.
There is retrograde <> prograde but only Kerbal players know what it means ;)Not really surprising. That last part “tard” comes from the Latin tardus which basically means slow or late. The “re” particle originally just had a meaning of repetition, in this case. So being late (not for the first time? ) So changing the first part of the word wouldn’t change the meaning of it so easily. Maybe technically something like “intard” could make sense in that way (similarly as what you find in words like indomitable, impossible, ineffective etc), but it doesn’t really exist. Or if we want to make it more meme-like, tarden’t?
Protarded actually exists as a slang with completely different meaning, but that’s out of scope
Overall useless information for most, but anyway
Protarded actually exists as a slang
Interesting. Always new stuff to be learned.
There’s also a thing called a retarder built into lorries and other heavy vehicles so they don’t melt their brake pads, think engine breaking as the basic version, add special engineering sauce and you get something that is good at slowing stuff down without burning up, but not good at all at arresting it in place. The term is also used with railroads but those are actual breaks. Similar to the ones you see on roller-coasters.
Turns out anon was pretty tardy after all…
Anon is a retard. Also why did that word go out of style? I know damn well it’s because it was abused but by definition:
to delay or impede the development or progress of : to slow up especially by preventing or hindering advance or accomplishment
It’s a fair critique. We need to stop this PC bullshit. I’m saying this as a father of two children in the spectrum and neither of them are retards.
What is tardy supposed to mean?
For normal people, to be late to something.
For this guy, the R slur against those with learning disorders.
you know this is the internet and you are allowed to type whatever you want, right? let me show you: “retarded”
“whatever you want”… they wanted to be a respectful person.
“IDGI, this person has the option to be the worst version of themselves. Why dont they choose to do that?!? Also why does noone want to be around me? Could it be that marinating my brains in a writhing compost of clapbacks and dunks is desensitizing me to my own dehumanizing? No. Clearly this is because woke.”
Is saying the word retarded without calling some it disrespectful? Is it now a trigger word? I’m genuinely wondering. Because when we were growing up we used the word EVERYWHERE. It was as common as saying “fricken”
People used to use the n-word all the time, so it must be perfectly OK to say!
This is the exact same argument. It doesn’t work, right? Why would it here? Sure, there may (I doubt it, but I’ll leave the possibility open) be other reasons why it’s OK to say, but throw that argument out.
We used LOTS of words then that are now not ok to use. Growing as individuals and groups is a good thing, being attentive to others is a good thing, understanding that you see no offence to a word where others do and changing that behaviour betters everyone.
Nah, speech police is just a disguised form of fascism.
Dude, I don’t think you understand what fascism is about. Telling someone something is wrong isn’t fascism or saying murder is wrong would be fascism.
