Her use of the word "retard" does seem odd to me, though. To my British ear, it wouild normally sound worse than the word "cunt", for examp.

@PhilosophyExp 'Retard' is that offensive in the UK? I know it's poor form, but I might use that word unthinkingly, + I have UK students...
@JordanLongwind not the word "cunt" (when just used as a generic swear word - context is important here).

@PhilosophyExp Fair enough. For the record, I would normally reserve my indiscretions to calling something 'retarded'. Duly chastised tho. -
@JordanLongwind Large cultural dimension, though. Here in North America, the word "retarded" just doesn't seem to have same connoation.
