Ahem, it means, "What The F___?!" or more nicely put, "What the heck?"

I'm such a hypocrite. I never say this out loud, but I sure do think it!!

I agree, what the ****, insinuating retardation when having a phobia of any sort. That is really wrong, I agree.

Sounds like MIL needs some sensitivity training! My parents are like that and it drives me nuts. My mom probably woudn't mistake a mental health disorder with mental retardation, but my dad sure would. I can't stand to be around him sometimes just because of all the crap that he constantly blurts out. One of his favorites is "you're a reject from the retard factory," and he used to say that to us kids all the time. That sure doesn't feel good to hear as a kid, but as an adult it's just disgusting.

I think you should set her straight when you talk to her next time. She really needs to know the correct term.

Lindsay, unfortunately there are a lot of ignorant people in this world. I can understand your frustration.
