Retard/Retarded/Retardation. I understand that retardation has connections to medical conditions and all that, but I've heard that word be used so much in insults that it bugs me to no end. Especially because I have a brother who has Cerebral Palsy, of an extreme kind, and could be considered 'retarded'. I also feel a connection to other people who might be deemed 'retarded' because of him.
Edit:
To the person who gave me a good rep, thanks. I mean it, too.
I can relate to this as I have a brother with Recessive Autism. His autism is bad enough that he can't even talk and he was lucky to be able to walk. Really bugs me. Middle school was the worse because it suddenly became a trend for students to use the word "retarded" as an insult. I hate it when people assume my brother is faking it for special attention when he's been like that his whole life.
I hate the word YOLO and swag. It's just stupid and it makes no sense to me... It doesn't help that my state has a county called Yolo. YES. It's real!
