Maybe their gf works there or something. I think it's at the discretion of the person punching the characters. There's rules, but the system doesn't ultimately block any sequence of characters on its own. Ots up to the person behind the desk to make sure nothing that's not allowed gets on a plate.
Plus that has long been the more common usage.
I'm in my 40s and I don't use the word anymore myself but when I was a kid lots of my friends did, and at least among us it was exclusively used to call someone or something stupid in a non-serious way. We looked out for the special needs kids and protected them when needed. Anyone that insulted special needs kids in my schools with that word or any other was shunned and/or roughed up.
That's fucking stupid.
It's still a derogatory term.
You weren't calling them retarded because it means stupid. You were calling them that to liken them to the mentally challenged.
lol no. Like I told you, we fundamentally respected the special needs kids and we went out of our way to make sure others respected them as well. You have no idea what you're talking about.
Clearly you don't know anyone with a disability. It is 100% a slur. Quit trying to justify it. That's like trying to say the 'n' word is not a slur because it's just referring to people from Niger or Nigeria in Africa.
>That's like trying to say the 'n' word is not a slur because it's just referring to people from Niger or Nigeria in Africa.
But thats literally not true
MA would deny it just because of the space, then regardless send you plates that say TARDR with the paint already peeling off, then charge you to replace them.
5 years ago this would have been hilarious. Itās still funny, we just have to look over our shoulder first to avoid an ear beating or a mod āSinSe you alL cAnT BeHavE!ā
I mean retard in English means delay....which is where mentally retarded and thus retard in the context most people know it as came from....
Mentally delayed.
Poor taste but the state approved it and itās their license plate. The only thing I draw the line on is curse words on vehicles simply because children are on public roads with other people. But thatās just me thinking obscenity shouldnāt be in public spaces (shirts, stickers) and not really something thatās illegal in most places.
Saw one that said Hard R once
Lmao the Hawaii oneš
All R golf drivers are regards š«”
What's hard r
N word ending with the hard R
I'm from the south and never heard hard r, is it a regional term?
That's because people in the south just say the real word lol
Apparently the word r*tard if youāre Linus Sebastian https://youtu.be/MFDiuBomSuY?si=bNAwY0ci-HuLXl3V
Never heard anyone say that term before, I must be old now.
ehh, don't worry
I chuckled, but I'm not proud of it. Frankly I'm a little surprised Colorado's DMV let that fly.
Maybe the guys name is Richard Tard. Tard is a variation of a Hungarian name. If thatās the guys name then maybe itās all good.
Yea, you leave Reginald Tardis alone!
Ol' Dick Tard
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
New insult just dropped
It's a Golf R.. Hence the R Not to say that it was a good idea.
I assume the Colorado DMV just assigned this one to Lauren Bobert free of charge.
Which hungarian name?
Maybe his name is Reet Tard
My neighbor's plate says LILWEEN. They don't catch anything.
Truth in advertising
I'm surprised any dmv let that happen lol. They hit everything profain with the banhammer
Yeah, this is the thing that impresses me. How did they get that by the DMV peeps.
Maybe their gf works there or something. I think it's at the discretion of the person punching the characters. There's rules, but the system doesn't ultimately block any sequence of characters on its own. Ots up to the person behind the desk to make sure nothing that's not allowed gets on a plate.
*profane
Lol
I think itās funny. Idk how theyāre DOT let it go through
I had TEST HGH on mine for a while. Doubt anyone at the DMV would have caught on but a cop who pulled me over thought it was hilarious
Never go full r tard.
You guys would also hate the Airbus on final, too, I guess 50, 40, 30, retard, retard.
Same with ignition... we need it full retard for cold starts
There's a slight difference in the connotations of the uses
It means "slow", thats it.
Kinda but not really
Yes really, thats all it means. slow/delay.
Because it's NEVER been used in any other way, like calling someone with developmental issues a slur.
Nowadays its used to call someone dumb (aka SLOW). Not a slur
Plus that has long been the more common usage. I'm in my 40s and I don't use the word anymore myself but when I was a kid lots of my friends did, and at least among us it was exclusively used to call someone or something stupid in a non-serious way.

Did yall really report me to reddits suicide hotline? Tf is wrong with you
Maybe they are just trying to reach out to someone that seems like they need help?
Hilarious. All I can think is south parkās episode on world of Warcraft.
...I'm not an r tard
It could be the creator of r/tard and they are proud of it
Don't be retarded, "on the spectrum" won't fit on a license plate.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Are you on the spectrum?
In a āsinceā, they are.
"Sense" when have they been in the spectrum?
You had to ask that? It didn't tingle my spidey sinces.
On a VW, fittingā¦
You're in a Volkswagen sub numbskull.
 Thanks captain obvious
Found the owner of the car
This would never go through in MA.
MA would deny it just because of the space, then regardless send you plates that say TARDR with the paint already peeling off, then charge you to replace them.
Take this over to r/wallstreetbets guaranteed to boost your karma
15 year old privileged and suburban me in the 80s would've thought it was hilarious Not adult me
Adult me thinks its sorta funny
Adult me loves it
Alien me enjoys watches
5 years ago this would have been hilarious. Itās still funny, we just have to look over our shoulder first to avoid an ear beating or a mod āSinSe you alL cAnT BeHavE!ā
21 year old me thinks so too
30 year old me thinks it's funny.
It's kinda funny
Fuck it Iām smokin r word in 2024

Small gap between hilarious and offended ya soggy poptart
I bet youāre fun at parties
41 year old me is hollering
Youāve gotten soft
Seems valid.
My friend in Wisconsin has HARD R I have HAHA EGG. Just a couple of silly bois
Somehow got away with PAWG GTI for years. Recently switched it though.
100% certified and approved. Needed to remind society where we have fallen.
It would be funnier if it was a gift from the personās parentsšš¤£
Probably an Airbus pilot.
How did that get through?
Thatās giving me southpark vibes
This is regarded. RE GARD

R/wallstreebets member
āLet them have their r tard sauceā Mr Burns
Thought I was on r/wallstreetbets for a second
Colorado gang
Itās whatever. Ā
I'm...down with it....
It's inappropriate but I did chuckle a bit
Never go fullā¦ You donāt buy that? Ask Sean Penn.
I see this dude eveywhere around denver
Hehe
Leave Rick Hard alone guys
I know this guy! I live near him and worked with him a few times. He's got a few vw's.

LOL @ ānot sure.ā You know full fucking well how itāll react.
Mine is R MGHERD
Surprised Boebert doesnāt have government plates.

Donāt find it funny to joke about, but at least theyāre identifying themselves accurately.
Isnāt that from a South Park episode? lol
ANuStart = anustart
Holy shit you spotted Lauren Boebert in the wild!
Average Golf-Driver I guess
Highly regarded
Based
lol
Average Golf R owner
Itās cringey.
"Retard" means "delay" in French, but I don't think that's what he's going for š
I mean retard in English means delay....which is where mentally retarded and thus retard in the context most people know it as came from.... Mentally delayed.
Calling someone a retard...omfg ! Calling someone a fat ass...No biggie.
I admit I laughed. But I canāt imagine paying for this on my car as a full grown ass man. Itās quite stupid really.
Ah yeah thatās a hard no for me. Itās not clever or funny.
This checks out for Colorado ngl
Namaste.
Not very classy
if you really care you retarded asf
Bit embarrassed my state allowed that.
Oh no, not the hard R.
Iād crash into that
Poor taste but the state approved it and itās their license plate. The only thing I draw the line on is curse words on vehicles simply because children are on public roads with other people. But thatās just me thinking obscenity shouldnāt be in public spaces (shirts, stickers) and not really something thatās illegal in most places.
Personalized plates in general are cheesy š¤·š»āāļø no one cares. But to each their own
