In today's world, the "r" word is no longer being used to describe people with disabilities. In fact, we have been told to basically clear the word from our vocabulary. I think it's a great idea, however, I still hear people my age and older using the word. The word is usually used as an insult. Those people don't understand how that word can hurt someone, so I've compiled a list of insulting words that they can use instead of the "r" word.

1. Uneducated
