Growing up r***** was a pretty common phrase, that's definitely something some millenials have had problems removing from their vocabulary.

I also don't think our social comprehension of gender has finished evolving yet. So everyone alive to read this comment will eventually have to revise their understanding and look back on their cringy previous views.

Ohhhhh I thought you meant the phrase was "growing up r*****". Took me five minutes to figure out what you meant. It's just the one word, not the whole phrase. ๐Ÿ˜†

For anyone else confused like me, it's the pejorative word for a person with a mental disability.
