This is about what I was going to say to a tee. I used to say gay/retarded. I had a teacher who broke the habit of saying retarded for everyone I know. I rarely say it, it is an extremely offensive word. I never got into the habit of saying fag, but gay was thrown around constantly when I was a kid. I stopped using that one when I found out one of my close friends was gay, as well as my brother. I felt really guilty every time I slipped up, so the habit was pretty easy to break.
