It means, for example, that someone who may be 20 years old has the emotional responses of a 12 year old. Look at Snooki from the Jersey Shore (I'm deeply ashamed I even know who she is). She's in her 20's but is emotionally about 15. So she is emotionally retarded.

I'm not sure that's an actual term. More than likely it's a word someone has made up at some point or another to describe someone.

My educated guess would be that it means someone doesn't understand or act on his/her emotions well. They may wear their hearts on their sleeve or not understand what being in a relationship would mean.

Either way I wouldn't put much thought into the meaning. More or less it means nothing. :]

Well I never really heard someone call someone "emotionally retarded" However I would definitely take it as an insult as the word "retarded" is not a compliment. You don't need people in your life that are going to insult you and put you down anyway.
