Is it okay to use the word "retarded" as an insult?
Is it? Do you think it's funny? Not funny? Tacky? Gross?

No. It's never OK to do that.

No. I prefer to use more elegant words like "douchebag" and "asshole" tbh.

I think it's fine.
I also say "retarded" for things which have been legitimately retarded.
"flash retardant"
"fire retardant"
"tardy"
"retardation factor"
"grass retardant"

I personally do not use it, but my sisters use it, and my uncle uses it.

No, but I don't think it's a word to get outraged over when used either. It simply shows a lack of intelligence

The word? Or the use of the word?
