I want to take back ‘Retard’. Because I want it to apply to things that are infuriatingly stupid, instead of it being used as a derogatory term towards special needs people.

    The same with OCD and depression. I honestly get the urge to kick people using phrases like “I am totally OCD about [something trivial and irrelevant]” or being “depressed” because it happens to be raining outside or some other banality. And don’t get me started on “funny” merchandise like T-shirts with respective slogans printed on them, as if suffering from a mental illness was a fashion statement.
