I want to take back ‘Retard’. Because I want it to apply to things that are infuriatingly stupid, instead of it being used as a derogatory term towards special needs people.

I don’t use this as an adjective to describe a person, but I generally park my bread dough in the refrigerator to retard it. So my dough is retarded when I chill it.
As a perjorative for a human being though? No, have not used that as an adult, though I don’t think “delayed” is any different, it has the same meaning. But it costs me nothing not to use it, so I don’t.
What I would like to reclaim is the word “literally”. Why the fuck does it now seem to mean literally the opposite of literally.
