Someone find me a film or show from 1950 onwards where MR is colloquially used by an average person to describe a person with mental illness in a mocking way.
Words like lunatic, spastic, retard, mental, simple, SLOW etc were all preferable at one point and became offensive due to the euphemism treadmill.
MR isn't in that group though. Nobody ever used MR to fuck with somebody.
