As a none-native English speaker nor a person that follows what words are allowed or not to say, I have no idea what word was Linus talking about with that "hard R". Was it retarded?

I also have no idea what word was the one all the others feared and, to be honest, I don't care that much.

It's 'retarded' but they thought he was talking about 'nigger' (hard r = hard racist).

Never heard about 'hard r' being used to refer to that particular slur, though. It's always just 'the n-word'.

Ok, thank you.

I find it the "hard r" expression quite silly, but we live in a time where everything has to be simplified or reduced for God knows what reason.
