I’d be interested to understand more about why you find this usage of the word “retarded” offensive. I sometimes use the word as a synonym for “stupid” or “idiotic”, but would never use the term to refer to a person with a developmental disability. I’m curious if your experience is different. Do you feel the word should be eliminated from usage entirely?

And just in case you’re asking in good faith, I don’t “find” it offensive, it’s a slur. I can’t go up to my white friend, call him the n-word and say “I use it for someone who doesn’t use turn signals.” Words have meaning based on how society uses them collectively, not your individual opinion.
