 Fun fact:
The etymology of the word โ€œtardyโ€, which means delayed, is the root of the word retard.  Schools still use this word.  I love calling people tardy ๐Ÿ˜‚

Oh how the euphemism treadmill strolls alongโ€ฆ

 If someone is tardy two days in a row, that makes them retardy.

 I can't decide if I want to overuse the word so they stop using it or just keep laughing at how dumb people are.  

I remember a time when "sticks and stones would break my bones but names wouldn't hurt me" 

-that was the more rational solution so of course not.

 tarde means afternoon in portuguese too, and fundamentally it just means "late" or "behind the middle" as far as development, and "retard" as a verb is basically putting a brake on something, so it is travelling slower and comes to the destination later

fuckin cultural marxists
