The way I saw it, it looked as if you were looking for a backdoor way to use ‘retarded.’ for a cheap laugh.

I agree, people get upset if you use the terms Negro Baseball League or subnormal children, when those were commonly used terms at the time.

On the other hand, the internet is full of people acting in bad faith. I’d suggest that in the future you don’t just post, but take the time to add context. My opinion.

For what it’s worth, you have my upvote.
