That boy retarded.
That boy stupid.
That boy hard.
That boy cold.
That boy fye (fire).

All interchangeable and all meaning good/great/elite.

Or as I explained to my teen aged daughter after she lectured me on "retard" being offensive... Retard is a mechanical term that involves slowing an engine in one of many ways... timing, restricted exhaust (Jake Brake), etc.. It is not offensive it is the technically correct term... "That moron's motor is slower than mine. He is retarded"

Retardation also carries an IQ range of <20 to 70.

She walked off mumbling something about not knowing why she tries. lol
