Do you use "gay" and "retarded" with a negative connotation?

omg this thread is so retarded

 

use them into a more not so offensive way of speaking like instead of you are a dumb f**k i just say you're retarded and laugh it off

 

i use retarded, haywire, and pig all the time..plus some @#$%&* occassionally when i'm very angry...

 

well, now we know how often you use retarded.

 

when he thinks that he is not retarded

 

lol hm, I dont use the work "gay", not for any specific reason, I just don't. I do use the word "retarded" though and I usually use it for situations and people that are sooo foolish, aggravating, and annoying, that it gets on my last nerves. I never say "retard" to describe a mentally handicapped person though.

 

i dont really like to..but it just slips out once in a while.( i mean...i didnt actually try to offend people that way..but yea)

 

well youre so gay.

 

Can't you people just not say those words at all? isn't there an alternative word?

 

^ Want to list some examples?

I don't say "gay" because there's the word "homosexual" which is more encompassing (includes both gay and lesbians)

I say "retard" (to indicate extreme stupidity done by a person whose intelligence is supposedly intact) because mentally handicapped people are, well, "mentally handicapped people".

 

I use fucktard a lot. Does that count?

 

well, generally, i think of gay as another word for lame and retard as another word for stupid. instead of saying "that's so gay" say "that's so lame" / "you're retarded" say "you're stupid". haha. the reason why i say this is because i think doctors use "retard" to address mentally handicapped people. but ehh, i'm not sure.

 

^ i dont think doctors use the word 'retard' for mentally handicapped peple anymore...as its kinda discriminating....blehhh i cant remember nows...

 

Yep I use gay and retarded, but online more than real life I guess.
Lol.

 

that's my point.. if it sounds discriminating (wait, discriminating who?) then we shouldn't use it to joke around with?

and @dann: thanks. hehe. although i discourage the use of the word "gay"

 

like hiake said. we dont use those words as what others mean them to be.

copycat. I use the word fucktart -lol

lol i have no idea what youre thanking me for lol
