It's 2017. This type of ableist language should not be socially acceptable anymore, anymore than calling something the n-word as an adjective. Differing abilities should not be an insult.

- OtterCoder 9y agoIt's 2017, you should be mature enough to shrug off language like this, and distinguish between slang and formal meaning. Differing ability always becomes an insult, and if you knew anything about the march of language, you'd know that this is a treadmill you cannot catch up with. It's not language I use or agree with, but my opinion isn't going to change something that turns out to be fundamental to how people communicate. You need to learn how to live and let live.
