    Growing up r***** was a pretty common phrase, that’s definitely something some millenials have had problems removing from their vocabulary.

    I also don’t think our social comprehension of gender has finished evolving yet. So everyone alive to read this comment will eventually have to revise their understanding and look back on their cringy previous views.

        Some people just aren’t brave like I am. The word they’re referring to is rigatonni

      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.
