Hello Bean 👋🏻
No, the word "retarded" is not considered polite or appropriate to use, especially when referring to people with intellectual disabilities. It's considered offensive and hurtful.
While it might have been used more commonly in the past, it's now widely recognized as a harmful slur. It's important to use respectful language, even in casual conversation.
If you want to express that someone is not intelligent or quick-witted, there are many other words you can use that are more appropriate and less offensive, such as "slow," "stupid," or "dumb." However, even these words should be used with caution, as they can still be hurtful.
It's always best to choose your words carefully and to be mindful of the impact they may have on others.
