Retarded. He’s censoring the word retarded, for anyone also confused.
You can say retarded. Especially when literally referring to the word itself? No one is going to arrest you.
For the record the new offensive phrase is “sped”, because the euphemism treadmill doesn’t stop and focusing on words instead of subject matter is pointless.
Ohhhhh I thought you meant the phrase was “growing up r*****”. Took me five minutes to figure out what you meant. It’s just the one word, not the whole phrase. 😆
For anyone else confused like me, it’s the pejorative word for a person with a mental disability.
Ideas never finish evolving, and in a grand sense nothing finishes evolving, unless you consider extinction to be the conclusion of an evolution. Nature goes on, the universe continues, there is no end point where things have reached a perfect evolution.

Thanks for the explanation because I was confused too. Good example of why commas matter.
I thought they meant “growing up r” as well. First my brain supplied me with “growing up rich”.
If only I had scrolled, you woulda saved me the same time. 🤣

Are we censoring the word racist now? We can’t call it what it is?
