I know someone with a disability that simply affects their walking so they use a wheelchair. That word was used against them frequently growing up and now any time someone uses it 'not directed at them though' it still hurts them. Smartest person I know, and they get dragged down by people who say that word thinking it's harmless. To me, it just comes across as extremely childish. Like you said it a lot when you were 13 and now want to 'bring it back'. Really cringe and shows a lack of growth as a person

I watched this whole thing expecting it turn into a joke.

I was disappointed.

Unless we’re talking about spark plugs, firing later than the compression stroke. 🤷

This is a terrible ad because it doesn't do anything to confront the euphemism treadmill. We also used to say simpleton in the past, but that's okay to say?

As a parent who witnessed their child being called this word many years ago, that word hurts. I am against the use of it and have educated many people on the effect that word has on others. R-Slur
