Dictionary type definition is 'using a disablity as an insult' .
So calling someone a imbecile or a retard would probably qualify.
What if someone actually was one and the words weren’t just being used as an insult?
Do those words provoke a bad reaction in all cases?
I'd have said that the description 'using disability as an insult' answers that question.
