Whats a retard and what does miscellaneous mean and how is it pronounced? Thnx ;)!?

Answer 1

A retard is short someone who is mentally retarded- that is their capacity for learning and thinking are smaller then the average person's.

Miscellaneous means things that are of trivial importance, I could say "can you bring all the beach chairs and umbrellas to the beach, but leave all the miscellaneous stuff that will only take up space".

And it's pronounced MIS-IL-LANE-NEOUS but say it really fast :P

Answer 2

Retard is short for retarded and it is used as a slam on someone when they do something considered 'retarded' it is not a very mature remark to use as it slams and insult people who are mentally challenged.
Please be kind enough NOT to use it !
Miscellaneous is a little of this and a little of that example " there were miscellaneous pieces if hardware left in the tool kit "

Answer 3

a retard is an offensive name for someone who is slow, mentally. retard is also a verb and means to slow something down (like a fire retardant). Miscellaneous is pronounced 'mis-ell-ain-ee-ous' and means things that don't fit into any other category.

Answer 4

A retard is an offensive term used to call someone who is mentally challenged.

Miscellaneous - mis-sir-lay-nee-ous

Answer 5

yes, miscellaneous means all that Dragons Fire stated. it could also mean "the rest".... such as if you're classifying a group of books, and you have them categorized by authors, you could have a section for stephen king, one for robert frost, one for J.K. Rowling, and you could just classify what's left as "miscellaneous. possibly not a really good example, but its the first thing that came to mind. as far as pronouncing it, i'm not sure how to explain that in type. sorry.

Answer 6
