Yeah, I know who Red Green is. I was neighbours with Patrick McKenna who played Harold. You’re American and you watch Corner Gas? I don’t know any Canadians that watch that stupid fucking show.

Well at least yer not waiting for a lottery ticket! I gotta wait until August for my second Pfizer, but like you I don't go out much except for groceries, exercise and flying. I do feel better about going out and figure I've got a much better chance if I should happen to get covid, but I still wear a mask and social distance. I was out on Saturday to do a little shopping and there were a lot of people out enjoying the weather and shopping, it was like someone took the lid off. We were recently locked down though, but it is a sign that confidence is returning, since many of those people were older and vaccinated.

Now that the young bucks are getting the jab I think things will improve quite a bit, 18 to 30 year old's are the biggest spreaders and if we can get a majority of those immunized, it should help reduce the number of cases.

Since taco has you on ignore, I'll have to correct your spelling!
intellectually challenged!

The reason retard became a pejorative, is that it was applied to assholes, instead of the intellectually challenged, same for the other "terms of endearment" we commonly use as an insult.

The Clinical History of 'Moron,' 'Idiot,' and 'Imbecile' | Merriam-Webster

The Clinical History of 'Moron,' 'Idiot,' and 'Imbecile'
The words have a less-than-savory past

Many of us have occasion to express displeasure with the actions or behavior of another, and in order to do so sometimes choose to impugn that person's level of intelligence with a choice insulting word or two. (Or way more than two! It depends.) We're fine with that, but would like to point out that a certain contingent of go-to insults have a history of clinical use which makes them less desirable to use than others.

Idiot, imbecile, and moron were, not so long ago, used in a psychological classification system, and each one was assigned to a fairly specific range of abilities.

Idiots. —Those so defective that the mental development never exceeds that or a normal child of about two years.
Imbeciles. —Those whose development is higher than that of an idiot, but whose intelligence does not exceed that of a normal child of about seven years.
Morons. —Those whose mental development is above that of an imbecile, but does not exceed that of a normal child of about twelve years.
— Edmund Burke Huey, Backward and Feeble-Minded Children, 1912

How about morally retarded? Socially retarded? Literally it means slowed, or impeded, nothing more, but it causes offense and hurt among those who already have a great burden to bear, when used to denote intellectual retardation. Donald Trump can be accurately described as being emotionally retarded, since he is developmentally truncated and also as an imbecile, or a moron, though moron does give him more credit than he deserves.

Crippled fell out of favor for no particular reason that I can discern, handicapped means the same thing, but one term seems to cause offense. One would think that golfers would take offense though, if their game was considered crippled enough to require given strokes! :lol:
