    I will be mindfull of my next words to not be ableist myself:

    “Regular stupid” is absolutely ableist as well.

    People are of different abilities, both physically and mentally. Just because you understand something and they dont does not make them stupid.

    What they DO can be stupid, not the person themselves. Same as any other slur, it isnt good practice but people can self deprecate using them but others may not.

    Have a nice day.
