my computer is acting retarded
An excuse to get off of AIM or any instant messaging service when you don't want to talk to someone. Very effective, because everyone's computer acts retarded sometimes.
Jane: You know Amy, I'm so glad I can talk to you. You're the only person who really understands my relationship problems with Mike.
Amy: Yeah. My computer is acting retarded so don't be surprised if I suddenly log off AIM.
Amy: Yeah. My computer is acting retarded so don't be surprised if I suddenly log off AIM.
