I know "moist" is a favorite unused word for a lot of people.... Now that has both mouth feel and meaning issues ... LOL. I used to really hate that word, but I got over it. Here's one I never liked: "wound". It sounds weird, and makes me picture an open sore. Gross.
Hey - "open sore" is pretty disgusting too!

Because you're NOT one and you know it. IF you had a disability I think you'd feel differently. Buy you aren't calling someone with a disability retarded, just me. It's the fact that retard is being used to insult you. As you said, it is an actual description of people that are mentally slow. To use it as an insult is to say it is insulting to be compared to them, therefore an insult to them.

When saying retard to a regular person it is funny. Never to a person with mental issue. I love 'moron' word very much...makes me laugh.

I'm still trying to figure out what the word sped means (other than the past tense of speed), a contraction of special education maybe? And why would that be consired an insult? Context, tone? Someome please help this ESL person out here.

Is being called from the short bus somehow also forbidden or just a retard that is offensive?

Please...let's all stop saying that one. I never learned exactly how many of something it took to equal a "shitload".

discombobulate. I know it is a real word and the shade of meaning that it provides. But it simply sounds pretentious when you say it. I love that word! I'm constantly in that state. ;-) I don't like retard, like many people have said previously. I have definitely evolved on that one, as I used to say things like "Billy is so retarded." I don't like disparaging language and I don't use it. "See you next Tuesday" will also throw me into a fit of rage. I do love the word "fuck." I have a lot of favorite words, but that one is just tops! I think I want my tombstone to just say that.

And "duh". Nobody with half a brain should say "duh".

I hate the made up word "spendy" to mean expensive. I use that word to spot Minnesotans in the wild My two words are Adulting and USian Yeah not a fan of adulting either. Or the other popular use of adult as a verb. I have never heard USian.

African-American is a pet peave of mine. I'm fairly confident I have a broader knowledge of African culture than most people who use it, simply from reading safari books.
That, and the only actual African-American I ever met was a white chick with a British accent.
