Retard (noun) (Slang) A. a mentally retarded person. B. a person who is stupid, obtuse, or ineffective in some way: a hopeless social retard. See definition 'B' you retards.

that's because they are defining how it is used AS SLANG. just because we use 'retard' to mean definition B doesn't mean it isn't a bad habit to do so. it is something i am guilty of doing but i am really trying to stop because it is offensive, and not just that, but there should be a distinction between people who are born with or have acquired handicaps and people who act stupid who have no reason (i.e. handicap) to do so.

It's a slang definition from the actual dictionary, just as the way you think it's offensive is also a slang definition. Neither are a proper use of the word. One slang usage, doesn't invalidate another. People just fail to understand the context clues. Here are the non-slang definitions of the word retard: A. to make slow; delay the development or progress of (an action, process, etc.); hinder or impede. (verb) B. to be delayed (verb) C. a slowing down, diminution, or hindrance, as in a machine. D. an adjustment made in the setting of the distributor of an internal-combustion engine so that the spark for ignition in each cylinder is generated later in the cycle. (noun) The word "yellow" has two possible derogatory definitions, it can be an offensive term for Asians, or it can simply mean cowardly. It's level of offensiveness varies based on who you call it and why, just like the word retard.

so define us a new word, if you're so put out by it. Good luck getting it popularized, BTW. That sort of thing is ridiculously hard to do
