Swamp Donkey,

Being retarded is a prime qualification for doing a BA to graduate in Burger flipping.

Amazing, Mr Opinion and Steel Rednuts are even more arrogant than Kamala Harris and sleepy Joe, but I suppose that's wot BA's do ta ya! me old muckesr!, time to move on and troll some other poor author, not that I expect any of them care or head your drivel. nighty night kiddies, don't let the "the Big Bad Orangeman Donald" get you in your safe space!

Alison Jane,

It is obvious from the way you write that you have a lot in common with the shadyminister.

Two peas in a pod I would call it.

shadowminister,

You plucked that from the Lexico site which clearly prefaced the definition with the words "offensive" and "dated" didn't you you dolt.
http://www.lexico.com/definition/retarded

Here is a clinical definition:

"Intelligence quotient (IQ) scores are commonly used to determine whether an individual is mentally retarded. IQ scores between 70 and 79 are in the borderline mentally retarded range. Scores below 67 are in the retarded range. (Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1992, Ch55, p28)"

Just stop using it in reference to the young woman, it just leaves you looking petty, cowardly and a thoroughly nasty piece of work.

SteeleRedux,

The shadyminister is doing it because he is jealous of Greta Thunberg.

SR,

So what! you moron.

The dictionary definition of retarded fits Greta like a glove. That it winds you up is an added bonus.

When you go all PC it makes you look a snivelling, and small-minded grouch. Perhaps you could pull your finger out as it is clearly disturbing your piles.
