In the states, the word has been tabu for the last 5 years or so. It's quite a change in attitude that has taken place. That's rather silly because typically it refers to a person that is acting stupidly and not someone with a low IQ or learning impaired. A person feeling smug or superior to those less fortunate than themselves and uses the word "retarded" to denigrate those folks would pretty much be a dickhead. My recommendation is that people not be a dickhead.
