Sofa King We Todd Did

I was lying in bed last week trying to go to sleep, but a question kept bugging me so I offer it to you for your input. If a mentally challenged person is called retarded then that implies that a person is tarded to begin with. What the hell does being tarded mean? Am I at this moment in time tarded? In definitive terms, retarded means to slow. But that would mean that a tarded person would be kinda slow and then a retarded person would be really slow because he was slowed doubly. So, I will give everyone an easy shot by asking the question, "Am I a Tard?" Let the games begin.

That is all,

Newt

Maybe tarded stems from tardy, like late for class or an obligation. If so, then yes, you are correct in your analysis that tarded would mean slow. I don't know who first started thinking of us humans as slow, but I do know that in the future when the planet is ruled by civilized apes, they will think that we are slow, especially that Dr. Zaius... what an A-hole that fella will be!
