[quote=Anonymous]It's such a 1980s thing. 'Retarded' and 'gay' without the connotation were used so frequently as slang. Gay=lame; retarded=dumb or lame. 'Dude' was also common. I saw TV bleeped out 'retard' in 16 Candles movie. Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Breakfast Club all used these slang words. I hate to admit it, but there is some nostalgia when I talk with HS friends or siblings and one drops one of these words. Bad, I know. So, yes, most of us have terminated the use of these slang words in our daily speech. It is definitely generational. The youngsters raised in the politically correct, litigious, campuses of recent decades that have been taught to take offense at everything will rightly be offended. Many comedians, even Seinfeld, will no longer perform at college campuses. People can't handle jokes anymore either.[/quote]
