To be fair retarded means slowed or delayed so how many times was anon retarded in getting to work?
That's it, calling in retarded to work tomorrow.
I'm retarded at work every day!
I’m retarded as I type this
I never actually understood why retarded was used by mechanics when a car wasn't running right "The timing on this is a bit retarded" but now I know. Thank you
surprisingly the opposite is advanced timing, protarded isn't a word.
There is retrograde <> prograde but only Kerbal players know what it means ;)
Not really surprising. That last part "tard" comes from the Latin tardus which basically means slow or late. The "re" particle originally just had a meaning of repetition, in this case. So being late (not for the first time? ) So changing the first part of the word wouldn't change the meaning of it so easily. Maybe technically something like "intard" could make sense in that way (similarly as what you find in words like indomitable, impossible, ineffective etc), but it doesn't really exist. Or if we want to make it more meme-like, tarden't?
Protarded actually exists as a slang with completely different meaning, but that's out of scope
Overall useless information for most, but anyway
retarded means tardy again. If you're late once, you're tardy. Do it again and you're retarded.
Really changes the theme to Black Eyed Peas - Let's Get Retarded
It would be funny if the song got slower and slower
You're asking too much from them
they were just asking everyone to chill out and relax
I'm gonna tell people who need to chill to get retarded .
