pretard
n. A person who has yet to speak to you, but you just know that whatever they say will be so mind numbingly stupid as to make you cringe in disgust when you hear it.
pretarded
adj. Someone who is afflicted with pretardation.

I googled the word, and while it does come up in some places, nobody seems to know what it means. In most cases, it means exactly the same as "retard." I think my definition is much more compelling.

I just started work at Radio Shack this past Monday, and I've never dealt with stupider customers than the ones that come in there. I came up with the word to help me describe the people that I can tell I'll need to try really hard to avoid smacking (literally or verbally). I think it fits the bill quite nicely.

ROFL. awesome.

That is quite good, although I would try and reword the definition of pretarded so it's an adjective and not a noun. "The condition of being so obviously stupid that..." etc or just reverse the defintions you have now, more or less.

You know, I find shopping at Radio Shack frustrating because the salespeople always treat you like a pretard.

Question for you: does the description "pretarded" only apply to people of whom you are presciently aware of being literally retarded, or does it also apply to the same sort of knowledge about people who have no physiological/psychological excuse for being mentally deficient?

Actually, I literally woke in the middle of the night realizing what I had done. (I don't have nightmares. I just proofread in my sleep) After promptly falling back asleep and sleeping for 5 more hours, I woke again to correct the problem. Thanks for pointing it out, though. I'm glad someone else cares.

Ummm Radio Shack no longer exists... at least in Canada. They are all called "The Source" now... same crappy wares, same idiot staff, a brand new marketing campaign.

MooseMan -- I'm glad I'm not the only one who wakes up in the middle of night because of a writing error!

Charlatan -- Well, here in America we still have the Shack; I think so long as they can tie the name of the store to a huge basketball player they'll keep it.

canuckguy

was at radioshack last night, first time in my life that i made a fuss. The sales moron was taking to who I thought was another customer while I waited at the til, they talked for around 7-10 minutes while I stood there, with my item in hand, money in the other.
Yes I was timing as my wife was waiting in the car, they talked about what to have for dinner, whats on tv......etc. Another 5-6 minutes goes by, I finally said "can i get some fucking service" which got me rung though. Worthless.
The person apologies to me, but i was so pissed I told them to fuck off while she handed me the change. I feel bad now, but I was fucking pissed at the time.

edit, oops, its called the source now.

canuckguy

i do like the word, fits in brutally in my everyday activities.....unfortunately.

pretardite
n. A person you have yet to speak to, but you just know that whatever you say will be taken by them to be so mind numbingly stupid as to make them cringe in disgust when they hear it.

ShaniFaye

I invented a word too...I suck at grammer though so I have no idea what form of speech it is

wedzheimers-

what you call it when you cant remember anything that you need to do in your everyday life unless its wedding related or when you go abosoluely blank when some askes you a question totally non wedding related or when somebody asks your opinion on the color of something and you automatically compare it to you flowers or what the wedding party is wearing?

No, I mean stupider. Thanks for the input, though.

Good one. My words are more like take the prefix douche- and add a word to the end. For example:

Doucheslinger
Douchebagger
Doucher
Doucheass
Douchefucker
Douchecracker
Doucherassmotherfucker

Or, to make a German-sounding word: take the prefix doucher- and add a word:

Doucherbagger
Doucherasser
(or my favorite) Douchermeister

Also, there is a new noun I made up:

Douchefuckery:
n. 1) A messy or chaotic situation; i.e. "Lexington is a big douchefuckery when it rains." syn: mess, pigstye, pigfuck.

Goes hand in hand with kidzheimers. The total inability to relate anything in life to something other than a person's kids. Known symptoms: drives mini-van with license plate: "JacksMom", has the dirty also ran bumper sticker, "My kid is a student at Undacheiver Elementary", and is reminded by every utterance of something their kid has said.... "quarterly performance is down 5.34%? That reminds me of something my little Jack said the other day...."
