r-slur?

I’m so out of the pop culture. Had to find it. R is for re+tar+d, if I’m even allowed to use it. I think the r-slur has evolved into a simple t-slur, tar+d

Haha, I was still wondering when I saw your comment. Thanks for clarifying.

Btw, while it had been around since the late 19th century, in the 1960s, "mentally retarded" was pushed by the shrinks as a neutral "scientific" term that avoided the negative connotations of those other, originally, scientific terms, "idiot" and "moron." Now they call it "neurodevelopmental disorder."
