Hi, I posted something in the Quebec community on Lemmy.ca recently and one of the replies had someone write in French with the word r.e.t.a.r.d. being deleted from their comment.

That word means "late" in French and is not a derogatory word.

I wonder what happens if you say see ya later, or talk about a certain convenience store chain, using the French words.

Hahahahaha! An American I knew that lived in Quebec for a while called them "Coochie Tard". And also "Pharmapricks" was a good one that I kept.
