It's 2014 people. Why is it that we are still using the word *retarded or retard *in this day and age. I was listening to the radio this morning on the way to go walking and I the song *Fancy* by Iggy Azalea came on.
I wasn't really paying attention but when the second verse came on, I thought I heard the word *retarded. *
I was thinking that I wasn't hearing this right because in the song, she butchers the English language and I figured that I misunderstood the lyrics.
However, thinking about it later, I looked it up and sure enough, she uses the word *retarded* in the second verse.
Having said that, I'm not really sure what she means by saying that as I'm fully in understanding what the hell she's saying. That being said, there were others words that could have been used in its place.
I'm sure this wasn't meant to be offensive but what it does is make the word common place. When we use that word or any form of it, people become more comfortable saying it and we all know how the word is most commonly used.
After reading noticing this, I was just wondering what your thoughts on this are? Do you find this offensive or is the way it's used okay in your opinion?
Here are the lyrics from *Fancy.* I've put the second verse in bold. I'm just curious what you think about this.....
