Nah.  Intellectually disabled just doesn't roll off the tounge. 

Give it time. For a brief while after retarded went out of style the preferred term was the equally unwieldy "mentally challenged", and we made that fly! (I was a kid, give me a break.)

I don't know if it was universal but years ago people who had cerabal palsy where called spastics and there was even a spastic society  , so you got stuff like he's having a spaz attack " what a spaz " etc , it was also used as a broad put down phrase so it covers quite a few variables , something you need in a good put down phrase so I vote that if anything happens to retard ,  like the people responsible for taking Christmas out of schools , no playing in the PLAYground etc etc , do a retarded kidnapping figuratively and literally  , Spastic takes it's place, it rolls off the tonque quite well.
