You Retard!

[Fierce Muffin 490]

It's not about who you call what, it's about the context. You can call a gay person gay without offending them if you aren't using it as an insult. 'Retard' is different though. What if I walked around and started replacing 'retarded' with 'afroman?'

"That's afroman."

"You're so puppying afroman," or something like, "Stop acting like such a afroman."

Once you get past how silly that sounds (because it's not an adjective) it's actually pretty offensive and would probably make a lot of people uncomfortable.

Ahahaha, reminds me of "That's so afroman."

And that was hilarious.
