I've heard that we don't say the word retarded, anymore. Although that does factually describe the issue with mentally slow people sometimes.

No, we don't use the word 'retarded' anymore, as it is seen as offensive and derogatory towards individuals with intellectual disabilities. Although we might refer to a particular issue or problem as 'retarded', we would not use the word in a derogatory manner.
