My all time favorite. My wife and I have adopted most of these as food terms nowadays.

I'm voting no. It's based on a speech impediment and it feels like the wrong side of funny.

I'm never sure if this is legit offensive or not but this is making me think so.

I'm voting no. Most of these are simply misspelled, not accurately reproducing what a person with a retainer would sound like. ("blanabba"? Come on.)

I thought it was just supposed to sound like Lumpy Space Princess.

I always assumed the joke was people wearing retainers talk funny.

Wait, so making fun of a lisp caused by an orthodontic retainer (as per the first link), is off-limits now? How many of us didn't have some sort of orthodontia growing up? That seems like it's an extremely common, unifying experience among my peer group.
