English
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Borrowed from French retardataire.
Adjective
[edit]retardataire
- anachronistic, dated, especially in artistic style.
- 1980 August 30, Tim Walton, “Queer Rights Strategy Argued in Quirky Dictionary”, in Gay Community News, volume 8, number 6, page 14:
- Ditto with "community." [He says that] the notion that there's such a thing (or should be such a thing!) as a gay "community" is a product of those messy gay lib days. It comes in for a similarly superficial and retardataire drubbing, with however the extra good laugh that he can't refrain from referring to that nonexistent community himself a couple times.
