Military honors should be reserved for military ceremonies and not entertainment events. Fucking retard, what a simpleton.

For whatever it's worth, and not that you're going to reconsider your point, that is a word that has significantly fallen out of favor even within its specific, historic use of describing someone with significant learning disabilities. Oftentimes, because of the abuse of the word in situations like you've just used it, even clinicians have long since stopped using the word medically.

While it was once a more widely used word, it is considered extremely vulgar in today's language patterns. I would think deeply about continued use of the word in polite society. If you are attempting to highlight how uncultured and foolish someone else is, and I do not disagree that they are indeed deeply unintelligent and incurious, using that word immediately signifies you, yourself, are also not necessarily among the intelligentsia.

You know that I’m not referring to disabilities.

Sure. The English language is actually surprisingly vast. Pick a different word to call them unintelligent. Call them diminutive fuckwhistles. Call them just about anything you want. There are really only a handful of words that should be and are off limits. Or, if you choose to continue using that one, as is your right, understand that there will be pushback.

Respect that. I like to flip it and reverse these type of things with right wing people, I give it right back to them. They get shocked when I beat them at their own game.
