It is pronounced "ri-tard" when used in music. It means you are supposed to slow down the tempo. I don't use it any other way!

Ree-tard.

Unless I'm emphasize the retardedness of the retard, then I say ri-tard.

Dictionary says both are correct.

Classic response. This.

It depends on the usage. The offensive-to-some usage referring to a mentally challenged person? RE-tard. As the verb or a retardation? Re-TARD

 

[ChaoZ]

R-tard

Ree-tard when I'm talking about the noun. Both, when I'm saying the adjective.

Back when we were kids, we would say "retard" and act it out at the same time.
