Is the word " retard" has bad meaning to underestimated person? or just simply refer to "not smart "
I luckily work a store as a cashier, My English is not that good, though.
The first day I started this job, One customer said to me like that:
" This Machine is retard"
Actually this store I work has old Debit machine.
So, It can't tap card, swipe card(so weird, right?)
At that time when I heard the sentence, I thought the word : retard means just not smart, not cool...
But now, I heard this word in the TV Show again. That meaning is not that good. At least for me.
So, I just was wondering "retard" is bad word as like "sucks, terrible"?
or is the word a normal word that can frequently use in life?
