        It absolutely was used to refer to development disabilities in the US during the 80s - as well as anyone acting like they were disabled.

        And probably about 23 years where it’s been frowned on to use the word as a pejorative. Don’t use your capital letters with me dipshit.

          I can capitalise whatever letters I damn well please, and like I said in another reply, insults by their nature have never been appropriate, and by their very nature are frowned upon.

                  In this instance being a cunt to the idiots was my exact point. I dont care for their stupid ass opinions, and I dont for yours. IRL I make it a point to avoid people as sensitive as you as its more rewarding to spend my time around people who arent as fragile and sensitive

                • You know, not too long ago the same argument you’re making was made for the word cunt with regard to sexism instead of ableism. Just food for thought is all.

        It’s generally intended to mean “pull your head out of your ass, what was once acceptable is no longer.”

        Glad I was able to spell that out for you.
