(E: lol nope, looked up the census results out of curiosity, and ancestry is 90% either "Australian" or the British Isles.) I did always wonder how that milliner stayed in business. Maybe selling fascinators for all the horse races that go on in Melbourne?

People start using the polite term as a pejorative, a new polite term is invented, and the cycle repeats. People already use "special" as a pejorative in this context.

Retarding is another term for delaying or slowing down so it started out sounding very official and medical. We have 'flood retarding basins' around here to mitigate floodwaters. In French retard means something like "late" so it pops up when someone says they're running late.

Parachute-retarded bombs are a thing, too. I think they're used so that you can fly really low over the target without blowing yourself up. Also for a special anti-runway bomb called Durandal, which works by waiting until it's pointing down and then engaging a rocket to penetrate into the surface and blow up underneath, creating a pocket that's hard to repair.

That's brilliant naming for a surface penetration weapon! Durandal was Charlemagne's sword which he supposedly embedded in a sheer stone cliff face outside of a church in France where it is still stuck today (but probably just a replica). WARNING pic not funny  It's also the name of the AI in Marathon because of Bungie's thing with sword names, I guess.

It's because Airbus is French and it is a reminder to slow down the plane but... yeah. About 1:15 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDxSmeeTBxM

It ended up as the sword of one of Charlemagne's paladins, Roland. Charlie had it first though.
