Therefore, "pedo" now refers to someone who made a comment that was perceived as sexually inappropriate, and "retard" now refers to someone who made a comment that was perceived as unintelligent. The recipient does not need to actually be either of those things. Make a sexually suggestive comment about a petite thirty-something? Pedo. Comment on how you think a height difference between a couple is cute? Pedo. Make a favorable observation about someone's youthfulness? Pedo, pedo, pedo. It's a term of elitist pride for those in adultist spaces who think themselves pure of heart but are anything but. "Thus do I counsel you, my friends: distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful!" - Friedrich Nietzsche
