      Thanks for the information (sometimes I hate language).
      Wasn’t aware of it being the same in english nor my native language. You never stop learning, right?

        Yeah, handicapped is the supposedly “polite” way to say disabled, but me and every other disabled person I’ve really talked to about it finds it rather patronizing tbh.

          I like to describe myself as legally retarded, it makes people either laugh or get so awkward that I laugh.
