I hate when people use "retarded" and "gay" as derogatory terms. I try not to, but sometimes it slips.
I also hate when people use "suicide" as a verb. "OMG I KNEW A GUY WHO SUICIDED HIMSELF." wtf. |

Uh, retarded is an adjective.. Whether you use it offensively or not, that is the only correct way to use it.
Rofl Anna, "SUICIDED HIMSELF" Lmao..

I sometimes say retarded.. like.. that way when I get mad. And I use gay to the new kid because I despise him as much as I possibly can.

I hope you do realize that there are more than one meaning to the word retarded. It also means "to be delayed." So it technically makes sense.

How about just not using it right? There are hundreds of other words that one can use that is less offensive. -__- Maybe not hundreds...but still, more than one! |

 hello : ) Group: Official Member Posts: 4,227 Joined: Apr 2004 Member No: 13,139 |
well i use gay sometimes but not retarded or suicided or anything. but like seon ho said, retarded isn't only refering to someone being mentally disabled.
QUOTE v. reˇtardˇed, reˇtardˇing, reˇtards v. tr. To cause to move or proceed slowly; delay or impede. also when people say something is gay or retarded they aren't meaning it to be offensive. like when my friend says, "my computer is being gay." she doesn't mean it the same way as a guy who is gay. y'know? so it shouldn't be taken too offensively. everyone conotes the word. just like pimp by definition means a manager of prostitutes but when someone says, "Oh that's so pimp!" they don't mean it that way. |

Gay means happy.
Why is that offensive? And people don't usually say those words to be mean. It's just another way of saying extremely stupid. It's slang. Gay-happy Faggot-bundle of sticks or a cigarette Bitch-female dog Words evolve. |

It bugs me when people say online abbreviations in person. Like the other day someone said something weird and my friends goes:
"WTF?" I was like, dude..no. It just bugs me. No offence to anyone, but when people saying things like, "It's hot as a mug up in hurr." It really get's on my nerves, because it makes people that talk like that look really stupid. My generation is going to look/be really dumb if people continue to use unproper english, if you even want to call it that.

I couldn't care less means that your subject is so dull and stupid that i could NOT care less about it. |

I don't say gay or retarded. i think it's rude to say those words? cause it's like when you say gay. you are most likely talking about the gay people. it's like saying Jesus christ in a bad way....... your using his name as a cuss word/bad word so yeah hehe.
it doesn't really bother me as long as they dont repeat the words. |
