1. "Schimpanski"
To honor the July 1944 plotters who tried to bring down Hitler, and used that appellation for der Fuhrer.

2. Neither
I'll call him Shrubbie, Chimpy, Commander Cuckoobananas, President Fuckwit or something like that.

I never use the word "retarded" as an insult. I have worked with individuals who have mental retardation for 18 years and always strived to decrease the stigma against them.

8. I use 'Fuckwit' all the time
It's become my standard reference to "it". It's the diminutive of Witless Fuckhead.

3. I call him by the two worst insults I know
Republican, or Bush.

My problem is knowing what to call those plantlike growths around my house. I can't call them bushes. I've taken to calling them peace plants.

I've known mentally retarded people and none of them were evil, stupid and incompetent as is bush

5. Sorry about that. I'm French-Canadian and...
My English is far from perfect so I didn't realized how that word could be so offensive.

6. I don't think your being French-Canadian is a factor
Plenty of Americans use "retarded" as an insult, just like they use "gay", "crazy", "fat" and other words that way.

Awareness is the first step towards eliminating the problem :thumbsup:

Sorry, this adds nothing to the discourse, especially using the word retarded in this fashion.
