They mean “retard”. It used to be an acceptable word and now many people consider it a slur. Just wanted to give you a real answer since many people are making jokes or avoiding saying it.
I try (usually unsuccessfully) to explain to people there is a huge difference between saying something is retarded vs calling someone a retard. One of those is acceptable and the other isn’t.
I was really expecting that to say removed instead of “retard”. I find it hard to get behind that censorship even if well intentioned. It’s extremely annoying especially when you can’t guess what was removed and it renders a sentence incomprehensible.

Oh Jesus, how about we don’t censor Reddit because that itself is retarded?

Neither are acceptable, sorry.
Thank you. Til. I’ll avoid this situation in the future.
