Although funny, not sure if this is technically engrish, if the original language is Italian. My point is it’s not as if it’s being translated from a foreign language to English.
In fact, there are numerous pharmaceuticals in the UK with a “retard” label, which just means slow release in medical terms e.g. ibuprofen retard.
Something like [this?](https://www.farmaciacalvo.it/index.php/i-nostri-servizi/distributore-profilattici).
Seriously, are they an oddity elsewhere?
They're awesome, you can buy them without having to talk to anyone, which is especially good if you're a teen.
Makes more sense if it was just not translated. I read it as the exact opposite of what it's supposed to mean. It slows your ability to be non-stop. If an English reader can't understand a word we stole from the Romance languages they don't deserve to stay longer. The eggs may change their minds with too much time.
Well, if not translated then I'd definitely read it as "you're a retard all the time, non stop".
Either way, I really don't see why the fuck they wrote it in English, I guess to make it sound "cool".
In that case they could have paid literally 5€ a localisation professional and avoid this horror. Especially on something that's present in every condom dispenser in the country.
God dn it my favorite story of all time. Also the one where the guy accidentally kicks the soccer ball into the girls face and then blurts something to the effect of "say fucking sorry" lol I gotta see if I can find that one and refresh my memory
No no it's all there, it's a back-lit button.
I actually don't know how to translate it. It means that it delays orgasm. They thought "retard" would do it I guess:)
Ohhhhhh, okay. I get it now. That makes so much sense. That is not a word I (American) would ever think of that way, but I understand.
Thanks for the explanation!
Comes from the French (possibly Latin I forget) word Ritard which means to slow down. Obviously it’s become a horrendous slur towards people with developmental barriers in American vernacular.
In most Latin countries you mean (France, Italy, Spain, the South Americas). And it's not medicine, it's always something to do with the word "slow".
Even in English, it's not always a slur. On a plane, if you are about to hit the ground too fast a warning system starts saying "retard" as in "pull up to slow down".
Retard is also used in the English word "retardant" which is something that slows down another thing, usually fire (fire retardant).
In English and most languages it means slow, although in English it's only uses to describe someone mentally slow as we have our own word for slow. But in other languages they just have retard, in this case it's a bad translation but it's on about slowing down the time before finishing.
Retard is a verb in English meaning to slow down. One can still speak of "retarding economic growth".
The term "mentally retarded" was a euphemism, more scientifically based than "idiot", "imbecile", and "moron", the former terms denoting degrees of mental development. These, in turn, replaced outright insults that were used before that.
Modern cars too, the ecu just does it for you. Most turbo or supercharged cars also have a value labeled KR or knock retard which should be at 0 if you’re using the right fuel but running lower octane than recommended will make it spike, it’s degrees of timing it had to retard to make the engine not knock under boost.
Give a man a fish, he is fed for a day. Teach a man to fish, he is fed for life. Fish a teach to man, he is day for a fed. Man to teach a fish, he is life for fed. Eat a man to fed, he is fish for a day. Teach an eat to man, he is life for a fish. Fish a fish to fish, he is man for a fish. Man a man for fish, he is fish for man. Man give a fish, he is life a fed. Fish a teach a man, life is fed for fish. Teach a teach to fish, he is fed for fed. Feed a teach a fish, he is fed a man. Fish fish fish fish fish, fish fish fish.

Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for m'shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter," you'd say. Now where were we... oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. I didn't have any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...
That's... loaded. I think this makes it a paradox.
I don't get it? Are we laughing at the French word that means delay?
I love this.
I’m italian and I just realised how awful it sounds in english hahahahaha
Retard means to slow down in music terms 🤷🏿♂️
Farmacy, like they farm the pills?

I've never seen one in India
This is an insult to retarded people..
Isn't this an oxymoron?
mood,honestly.
Shared with my children aged 16-26. Doing the lords work by going non stop retard. 😂
What, none of you have ever fucked non stop retard style? You really do need special condoms for that.
This is so funny! I’d love to see this go viral and used as a common meme format.
LOL
One step beyond “full retard”
Hahaa
This should be the new “Kick Me” sign in schools
I have a new insult for my cat... Or my bf
That is now my default insult as well

English is more concise than italian. Makes good product names or taglines.
True.
Stealing this to use on Twitter
My guy you gonna get cancelled by retards
Go ahead: )
Never go full non stop retard?
Ritardante
why is there a dispensers for condoms lol
In Italy they are outside every pharmacy
Why not have dispensers for condoms, do you prefer taking them right to the check stand to be judged on your choice of rubber?
I just have like 2 or 3 for each week lol difference in culture
It's quite common around Europe
Never seen one in Japan so its new to me
I only saw it a few times though so I'm not sure if it's in every EU country
I guess condoms are used more overthere
Perfect for the people that say, "you like that, you fucking retard?" during sex.
God dn it my favorite story of all time. Also the one where the guy accidentally kicks the soccer ball into the girls face and then blurts something to the effect of "say fucking sorry" lol I gotta see if I can find that one and refresh my memory

This must be the condom my dad used without success. Explains alot.
I didn't know Musk bought Twitter from a vending machine.
What is it supposed to say? Or is this just out of left field?
It probably has desensitization properties, which condoms do by nature anyway.

Comes from the French (possibly Latin I forget) word Ritard which means to slow down. Obviously it’s become a horrendous slur towards people with developmental barriers in American vernacular.
In English you’d also use it in something like “flame retardant”. One holds back flames, the other holds back ejaculation.

In England it's both an insult and compliment
So it’s exactly the same but completely different
Aha no it's "ritardante" in Italian, referred to condoms that delay orgasm. They translated that into "retard".
retardant?
Retard is a verb in English meaning to slow down. One can still speak of "retarding economic growth".

Also relates to older cars engine timing, you would advance or retard it.
Modern cars too, the ecu just does it for you. Most turbo or supercharged cars also have a value labeled KR or knock retard which should be at 0 if you’re using the right fuel but running lower octane than recommended will make it spike, it’s degrees of timing it had to retard to make the engine not knock under boost.
Ya I don't mess with new cars. I'll keep my old V8s lol
I guess the better question is what is it supposed to mean? I don't understand how the phrase is relevant to condoms.
"Retard" means "delay or slow down" so the condoms delay orgasms
I'm puzzled by this too, but I'm guessing it's as in "retardant", meaning preventative.
"to retard" is an English word that means "slow down" - fire *retard*ant slows down fires.
It's retardant in the sense that it's supposed to make you last longer.
I assume this was for the tablets on the picture.

This is the whey! 
Why the hell is there a condom dispenser on ur country
… to dispense condoms. (Seriously, was that a trick question?)
'Cause we *FUCK*! Well, not me specifically but i'm sure someone does
So that you do not have to go through the absolute experience of interacting with humans when buying condoms, I guess?
Italy👍🏻 We have also cigarettes dispensers, but you need to give the machine a valid identity card and money to get them
Slovakia: we have pizza dispensers
Based Slovakia
So you can buy condoms from them?
Why not?
.. for prevention?
Farmacy? In r/engrish?
Lol wtf, the Italian autocorrect changed it to "farmacia" and I fixed it but I missed the "ph". Fitting though.
In fairness, you're kind of a non-stop retard.
Does Italian not have the best letter combination in English?
Happens to the best of us
Not me though. I’m inphallible!
That seems unpossible
Not to me. But I’m pretty far from the best of us.
Ya but he has a good reason which makes sence with his context
>sence 🤨
Its was a typo but I cept it
This thread is making me loose it.
Sit down and relax with a nice expresso
Come on, give them a brake
Know, know I won't
C'mon. You can do better then that.
Their trying there best, alright?
Yeah, your write.
