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.

    It came from having fun with “all correct” spelling it as “oll korrect”, going to OK. That has an affirmative connotation and I expect it was used in that way from the start. I can’t see it being used as “I heard you”.
