The "R" word

While eating a meal at someones house this past shabbos, they served a good dish and i told my hostess that the dish was “retarded” and “out of this world” (which it was). She then proceeded to flip out on me.

Besides for the fact that i will never eat there agian (the food was VERY good).

I dont understand what is wrong woth the word retarded?

Now dont go thinking i am a non sensitive person, i love people with mental retardation etc.

I just dont get whats wrong.

Am i not allowed to call something dumb? There are people who are actually dumb in this world!

And above all, on shabbos i meant it as a good thing!

Been there, done that.
