The deal is that I use the term "retard" a lot. I also say "That's just gay" a lot, too. Normally, I don't censor myself all that much. I do watch my mouth around kids and people where I need to be more respectful. It's only right and all to do so.
My problem stems from the fact that I found out my supervisor has a mentally challenged child. I am thinking that it might be a poor idea to use the "retard" word in her presence out of respect and all.
So, I need a substitute a word that's more creative (and fun) to use than saying "that's just dumb". Got any ideas??
Just because someone can call me Mom now doesn't mean I am gonna be Betty Freakin Cocker and bake any pies.

didn't covino want to push- "quacktastic" ? although I don't blame anyone for never using it.
I actually try to avoid both "gay" and "retarded" as I have gay friends and come from a psych background but I normally end up saying something like-asinine for intangibles or clown/joker when referring to a person.

I avoid gay and retard also, not worth the hassle if you piss some politically correct asshole off.
How about "Rinja"?

We just did a deck for a lady with a slow kid. The boss warned us goin in to watch what we say and not use the word retard.
I would problly just say dumbass instead. My old boss used to call you a bannana if you did something dumb. Don't make much sense, but whatever.

Yeah, just pick a new word.
But you'll have to use it all the time instead of retard.
If you only use it at work, but still say retard all the time, it'll slip.
Isn't it funny how retard used to be the politically correct term, now it's the farthest from it?

I might go with "bunk". I use that often, too. Hopefully, I don't offend any assclowns who have bunk beds.. lol
