JohnnyBlaze Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Brucey and me. Few realise it's actually a hilarious double act ShhhhhhhI don't see it, but if the two of you say so... Despite me coming across as a retarded, autistic misanthrope on here, me and him are fam, totes. I had to look up the word "totes" in urban dictionary. The second sentence made me laugh:"The word is most commonly used by..." http://www.urbandict....php?term=Totes Ah well there you go then, I'm a girl, not a man. You better start referring to me as "they". We are they and we do so with strong male tendencies because actually our biology dictates we are hes... STILL can't believe your fanny was the target of a ninja tiger. That goodness the gay frog was there to save the day! I don't know WTF most of that means so I'm "liking" it just in case! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the UK "retard" and "spastic" are used a lot as bully terms and are particularly cruel. I didn't know until I was about 14 that spastic is meant to be a correct term. It was always used as an insult and it's pretty offensive in this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least as far back as '96 when I first started working in mental health, the R word wasn't used. "Developmentally disabled" or "mentally impaired" were generally preferred. From '96-2001 when I did those jobs I absolutely NEVER heard any mental health pro use the R word in any capacity whatsoever. It was not in any document or client records/files either. I don't know what's used in the field anymore as I'm not in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 Let me get this straight, and I'm not trying to be a wise-ass. Brucey using "retarded" is fine. Me using "retard" in response to something he wrote isn't. Is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me using "retard" in response to something he wrote isn't. Is that correct? I'm saying it as a matter of fact that the word was never used in mental health/special ed circles. At most, the acronym "MRDD" was used but the word itself was never uttered or written. Neither word "is fine" IMHO but, like Tony, I'm not personally offended by it. I probably should be though.

I don't know what's used in the field anymore as I'm not in it. I'm not in mental health but I know that in local schools they have coordination with this national organization to "stop using the R-word" and have a day to promote stopping use of the R word. http://www.r-word.or...word.aspx I found promotion by the school somewhat ironic just because of all the over 100 teachers my kids had there was only one I didn't like, even before this incident. And really didn't like afterward. She got very frustrated with her 8th grade math class one afternoon and yelled "You are all a bunch of stupid retards!" at them. My daughter didn't tell me until the end of the year (probably with good reason!) Edited June 1, 2017 by blueschica 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
