well, atleast you know you're going out with a gentleman?

Did you go outside and get him?

I don't see how this could be going "full retard", though I can see your first point of being polite as a possibility.

Do you think it's funny to call someone a retard? Would you call someone with Down syndrome or CP or autism a retard? No, (hopefully) you wouldn't. Don't insult those people by calling someone who missed a sexual cue a "retard." Or better yet, don't use the word at all. It's downright insulting. As a future special education teacher I'm disgusted to see that people like you still exist. Show some respect.

Chill, it was a movie quote.

So he went "Full Special"?

i understand where #21 is coming from. it can be a movie quote, but for someone who has a relative with a disability (my brother has down syndrome) or like #21, chooses to be a special education teacher, we can take great offence to the word retard. it is an insult. it does not mean stupid, like most people seem to think it does.

#21 Because the whole idea behind the term is completely derogatory, right? The original meaning couldn't have be referring to a slowness or retardation in aspects of intelligence. We waste so much time coming up with better more politically correct terms for every thing. We could probably solve the world's problems if we put the time and energy we used for making up 'better' terms and lashing out at those that don't use the newest terms. Besides that it's a movie reference, so calm your ****.

Retard carries a negative stigma. Watch videos on awareness to pledge this out of your vocab. You guys may say it's an okay word but it really isn't. I have a twin brother with autism so I'm not ignorant when it comes to this subject. #21, you have a great point and I'm disappointed so many thumbed you down. However, if you want to get your point across its best to be calm about it or everyone will mistake you for a rambling idiot.

Since the word was made for the mentally slow, but it's insulting to say it, why don't we just change the definition? It is never used the way it's intended anyway.

For god's sake there is always that one JACKASS that has to take things TOO FAR there was never any mention of people with disorders but ASSHOLES LIKE YOU have to ruin something meant to be funny of stupid people like you need to get off these types of apps

I agree with 52, but I have a bad feeling that he'll get down voted.

Not even gonna touch the comments about the word being offensive, take it how you will. I don't have time for hypersensitivity. @ #14 basically because most of the girlfriends I've had that would be waiting for me in my house after work, let's say I would have known them for a while. Seeing them in nothing but a tshirt I would also expect that they were feeling randy. Unless the guy is extremely shy or just had a huge brain fart(is that more PC, or will I be yelled at because someone's cousins uncle once had an air bubble that caused a brain hemorrhage, so brain fart is now too mean to say?) his reaction makes no sense.

#21 and #41, the definition of retarded is "not working correctly. " I have the utmost respect for handicapped people. I never make fun of them or call them names. However, if my computer is messing up, or a friend does something dumb, I WILL jokingly call them retarded. I'm not making fun of an actually-handicapped person, and I really refuse to be as politically correct as everyone is getting these days. To me, it's like the soccer games where there "is no score" (everyone wins). It's pointless and wasted energy to keep people from saying certain words that aren't meant to hurt others.

His reaction makes perfect sense. Not every guy is so hypersexual that seeing a half naked girl means an invitation to sex. The dude had a long day at work and was tired. Cut him some slack. My wife prances around in the nude half the time (She hates wearing clothes). It's just the way she is, not an invitation for sex. She spends 9hrs a day as a judge in some highly proper setting. When she gets home, she wants to relax. I've learned to give her the space to do that.

People give power to words.. Calm down..

Well #68 I can honestly say I've never had a partner that pranced around in the nude unless she was trying to seduce me. I think that's most people's experience as well. But that's where knowing about your partner comes into play.

#41: It depends on how you use the word. I never say it in public for that very reason, but I use it when I'm describing a person who knows better than to do something incredibly stupid and ends up making a jackass out of him/herself.

I'm going to chime in my two cents with the whole 'retard is a bad word' argument. The way I see it words lose their meaning, or their meaning is altered, ect all the time, and people have to adapt to use that new word. The fact is that retard existed long before it was used to label people with disabilities, but it meant slow, dull, or broken, the medical field adopted it as a term to describe people with disorders, and the word retard is still used to describe these people, but is much less common in the medical field. Back to the point of the story, the word 'nice' was also used to describe people with the same disorders once. Doesn't seem a bit hypocritical to say 'Calling someone a retard isn't nice.'Now? TL;DR Times change and you have to chance with them, people, grow up.

#43 I get your point about the original meaning of the word, but objecting to its use as an insult is hardly "politically correct." (I'm autistic, by the way.)

87, you kick ass. From now on when someone's being a bitch, I'm just going to call them nice.

Quit being such a Retard, 21.

Snooki is better than she was then. She's got her Fiancee (maybe husband now), her adorable son, she's matured very much. You need to stop being disrespectful.

Oh but it does mean stupid, or slow. It's just that over time the word is killed by more and more euphemisms, I can't even say someone is special without them being offended. English is dying.

My god! Some people are such emotionally unstable creatures. Look lady, the baby-boom generation are relentless with slang, and we use "retarded" to describe a slow/clueless person. Hate to break the news to you, but this is the Internet. We don't give a flying f**k if you have a retarded son (stuff sugar-coating "disability"), have education in dealing with retarded people, or that you feel the need to bitch out for using the word retarded. Quite frankly, movies use the term often, games use it, and WELCOME to the Internet! We will use the words we create for our own purposes, without restriction, and in all relentlessness.

#104 obviously you're one of the people that obsess over fake reality shows. You can't really expect people to not think of her a certain way when that's how she presented herself. She was trashy then regardless of her come up people will always remember the bad over the good.

#90: for someone who openly admits to having a retarded mental disorder (autism), your literacy is very good.

#21, the comma should be after the "(hopefully)".

Retard means slow... Calm down. Though i respect you for wanting to help the disabled

41- Thanks :) I just feel really passionately about the use of that word. I have met so many learning disabled students who have cried multiple times because of mean kids calling them that word and yes, I realize it as from a movie, but that doesn't make it funny. My cousin has CP and would be classified as "retarded." But he is not. He has a disability and that dies not define him. Sorry for the rant.

48- Thank you. I'm just disappointed that people still think it's an acceptable term to use. It just makes me cringe.

It also annoys me when people use the R word. I don't see how this got so many thumbs down, most people I know would find OP's choice of words inappropriate..

The reason why we shouldn't use "gay" or "retarded" as adjectives for things we don't like is exactly the same. I know most people don't mean to be offensive to people of those groups, but we can't just use that for an excuse for saying them. It doesn't take much effort to take it out of our vocabulary. 111's kind of mentality is exactly why we have the "world's problems" 43 talks about. How can we solve anything if we are unwilling to take one word out of our vocabulary that could hurt someone or stigmatizes a population of people?

Damn ikr never thought I'd see a gentleman on FML :o

I was going to say that.

Oh well then the comment is official yours man. Take all it's likes, and glory, instead of bitching around.

He's a gentleman - don't let him go! It's quite sweet he's thinking of your privacy

Such a gentleman!

Ikr

That might want to be careful that in doing this you aren't actually raping him.

Grab, tie and explain intentions before doing naughty, kinky things to your partner? That way you can determine consent, they can't get embarrassed and run away and you'll have a head start on the fun if they say yes.

That's damn true. But not alot of girls these days do that

I actually know as many men as women who have been victims of date rape, though drugs were usually involved in the case of the men. Men are just much less likely to report it.

Yeah, oddly enough drugs are involved in date rape. Weird.

I agree haha! Personally I would think that's adorable!!
