I want to take back ‘Retard’. Because I want it to apply to things that are infuriatingly stupid, instead of it being used as a derogatory term towards special needs people.

    You’re not wrong either, it does ultimately derive from Latin ‘tardus’ meaning ‘late’, it just took a slight detour in French.
