I want to take back ‘Retard’. Because I want it to apply to things that are infuriatingly stupid, instead of it being used as a derogatory term towards special needs people.

    The replacement for “this is retarded” I’ve started to use is ~ “I guess someone had to leave early for the weekend. ‘Good enough, let’s ship this and go home.’” with me gesturing like Khaby Lame at, e.g., obviously broken email validation field.

    It isn’t quite as snappy, but at least my disappointment tend to come across.
