This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Not really surprising. That last part "tard" comes from the Latin tardus which basically means slow or late. The "re" particle originally just had a meaning of repetition, in this case. So being late (not for the first time? ) So changing the first part of the word wouldn't change the meaning of it so easily. Maybe technically something like "intard" could make sense in that way (similarly as what you find in words like indomitable, impossible, ineffective etc), but it doesn't really exist. Or if we want to make it more meme-like, tarden't?
Protarded actually exists as a slang with completely different meaning, but that's out of scope
Overall useless information for most, but anyway
Interesting. Always new stuff to be learned.
