Look, I know you want to cling to this idiotic "informal" argument, but you completely ignore the fact that the informal definition is rooted in the offensive meaning of the word. It's a word used in a very negative context towards those with mental or physical disabilities much like ethnic slurs. It doesn't matter if you're using a "dated" or "informal" or "formal" definition of the word because no matter how hard you try to twist it at the end of the day its an offensive word.
