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 would also like to roll in to work late and say “sorry, I woke up late” without getting accosted by Ron DeSantis but whachagonnado.
Oh wait that probably isn’t what you meant. How long did the word have it’s original meaning? I feel like it was only a couple of years maximum before it got taken and broken.
In mainstream culture, I feel like it had its original meaning from like 2014 until maybe 2021. Before that it was a part of black culture since like the 1930s. At least that’s what a cursory googling got me.
I guess I picked it up pretty late then.
