Like most teen boys in the early 90s, my friends & I used to thoughtlessly say this. Until a friend whose younger brother had Down Syndrome pointed out how cruel & hurtful it was to make his condition a slur. We all felt like assholes & immediately stopped, because she was so clearly right.

Which is just to say it’s disappointing to see how many adults in 2026 apparently lack even the minimal sensitivity of dumbass teen boys.
