The word retarded came from the old days when people use to be tard and feathered for certain crimes. If there person was stupid enough to do it again, the we're retarded.

Check out the trailer to Minor Threat. It features the best skiers from all over New York State (It's under the edits/shorts section or in Huckfest900's profile)

Wow...just...shocking. Retarded comes from the latin Retardo, to slow down... common usage just means the learning/mental development process of retarded people has been slowed. Sorry to those who took this seriously.

^exactly. and in music, a ritardando (italian) means to slow down
Some folks look for answers, others look for fights
Some folks up in tree tops, just looking for their kites

And in french, 'en retard' means to be late (or slow in arrving), etc etc etc... all the romance languges have some form of it, I'm sure.

yeah i was about to say... 're tarred ed' i dunno... doesn't quite work does it?
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of
arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly
proclaiming...'Wow! What a ride!'

Damn you JD, I was just trying to see how many people would believe it. And maybe people would tell it to others and it would weave itself into society and become a false hisorical myth. If I had to choose I'd pick the tard and feathered orgin over the spanish word.
