I hate the words, "cope", "cap", "cry", "ratio", "cool story bro", etc.

Do you also hate these stupid words?

Personally, I think a lot of people use retard too much on this site. I work with kids with developmental and intellectual disabilities and the term retard to me is saying that a person is too stupid to learn or can’t progress/improve themselves. The kids I work with try their best every day, and they do learn but it does take them longer with a ton of repetition. If you don’t like someone’s argument, then call them ignorant, unreasonable, foolish, ridiculous, witless, etc. Or better yet, don’t insult them and work on your own counter arguments.

Furthermore, if you have to call someone retarded because you can’t understand their arguments, then you have already lost the argument with your ad hominem attacks.

Yep, I don't use that term nor do I like it when people use it either. There are certain words people shouldn't say just out of respect regardless of how you feel about it and that is definitely one of them.

I totally agree.

Those words are just used by people as a means to give an impression that they are having the upper hand in a discussion even though they are not really adding any relevant information to their texts with those words.

For different reasons, "based" and "toxic" are other words that I hate, and will never use seriously, except when it's according to their literal meaning and proper referent.
