What is tardy supposed to mean?

[-] Wirlocke 77 points 1 year ago

For normal people, to be late to something.

For this guy, the R slur against those with learning disorders.

[-] kiagam@lemmy.world 56 points 1 year ago

you know this is the internet and you are allowed to type whatever you want, right? let me show you: "retarded"

[-] wetnoodle@sopuli.xyz 75 points 1 year ago

"whatever you want"... they wanted to be a respectful person.

"IDGI, this person has the option to be the worst version of themselves. Why dont they choose to do that?!? Also why does noone want to be around me? Could it be that marinating my brains in a writhing compost of clapbacks and dunks is desensitizing me to my own dehumanizing? No. Clearly this is because woke."

I found a training thing that included the phrase "retard power" in an aviation context. The best part was the way it was enunciated. Not "ri-tard" like you do when it's a verb, but long E ree-tard. I absolutely clipped it.

Can't say either on twitch or you'll get banned

[-] HackerJoe@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

You might be surprised that your sprinkler system has a retard chamber. Also you can still order it under that name.

chat is this real

That's hilarious. Is it still in use or say it differently now?

I'm thinking about master>slave in tech. Or rapeseed became Canola. Or how we say Uranus differently.

[-] SpikesOtherDog@ani.social 3 points 1 year ago

Printers used to refer to the page separation rollers as retard rollers.

[-] bitchkat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Not everyone with learning disorders is retarded.

Late.

It comes from Latin tardus = slow

I still cackle like a twelve year old every time that comes up in Duolingo.

[-] oxideseven@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

You're thinking of TARDIS, the time machine.

[-] _______@poeng.link 3 points 1 year ago

I'm glad the re-boot didnt call it the re-TARDIS.
