Okay, I'll ask what everyone is thinking. What does "retard" mean in Farsi? And do they realize what it means in English?

Hi Joseph. Actually "retard" is the American term for an air-dropped bomb fitted with retarders, that slow the bomb's descent to allow the aircraft time to escape detonation.

Joseph, I am sure Iranians know the term "retard" but in Persian its called "Bush"
