In modern use, retard is a pejorative term either for someone with a mental disability or for someone who is considered stupid, slow to understand, or ineffective in some way. The adjective retarded is in the same way used for something very foolish or stupid. Because it is now considered offensive, the word is commonly referred to by the euphemisms "r-word" and "r-slur".

  • In modern use, retard is a pejorative term either for someone with a mental disability or for someone who is considered stupid, slow to understand, or ineffective in some way. The adjective retarded is in the same way used for something very foolish or stupid. Because it is now considered offensive, the word is commonly referred to by the euphemisms "r-word" and "r-slur". It was previously used as a medical term. The verb "to retard" means to delay or hold back, and so "retard" became known as a medical term in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to describe children with intellectual disabilities, or retarded mental development. Until the 1960s, the terms moron, idiot, cretin, and imbecile were all genuine, non-offensive terms to refer to people with mental intellectual disabilities and low intelligence. These words were discontinued in that form when concerns arose that they had developed negative meanings, with "retard" and "retarded" replacing them. After that, the terms "handicapped" (United States) and "disabled" (United Kingdom) replaced "retard" and "retarded". Disabled is now considered a more polite term than handicapped in the United States as well. (en)
  • No uso moderno, retardado é um termo pejorativo para alguém com deficiência mental ou para alguém que é estúpido, lento para entender ou ineficaz de alguma forma. A palavra "retardado" é comumente referida pelo eufemismo "r-word" (palavra-r). Anteriormente, era usada como um termo médico. O verbo "retardar" significa atrasar ou conter, e assim "retardar" tornou-se conhecido como um termo médico no final do século XIX e no início do século XX para descrever crianças com desenvolvimento mental retardado. Até por volta da década de 1960, os termos "idiota", "cretino" e "imbecil" eram todos termos genuínos e não ofensivos para se referir a pessoas com deficiência intelectual e baixa inteligência. Essas palavras foram descontinuadas nessa forma quando surgiu a preocupação de que elas haviam desenvolvido significados negativos, com "retardado" substituindo-as. Depois disso, o termo "deficientes" substituiu "retardado". (pt)
