One of my favourite words appears to be in the queue for politically correct sanitisation, at least it is in the USA...
The 2010 professional manual that psychologists use for diagnosis makes the change in the medical label official: "Mental retardation" is out. "Intellectual disability" is in.

Some people seem upset with the use of a word, personally, I like it...
The R-word has returned with a vengeance, and a day doesn't pass without "retard" being uttered on the radio, on television, and by newsroom colleagues, usually to describe something or someone idiotic.
Whether it's a bad movie, a butter-fingered football play, or just someone acting the fool, "retarded" is once again the adjective of choice.
That said, I have an almost pathological hatred of the word "Absolutely" which sounds like an expletive given it's over use.
For the haters - Sticks & stones...
