The term "arrested development" has had multiple meanings for over 200 years. In the field of medicine, the term "arrested development" was used, in 1835-1836, to mean a stoppage of physical development; the term continues to be used to indicate a stoppage of physical development.
However, in the UK Mental Health Act of 1983, the term "arrested development" was considered a form of mental disorder consisting of severe mental impairment, as a lack of intelligence. Other researchers have objected to the notion that mental development can be "arrested" or stopped, preferring to consider the mental status as developing in other ways, rather than the notion of mental growth as arrested. Consequently, in psychological terminology, the term "arrested development" is no longer used by them in referring to a developmental disorder in mental health.
In the field of developmental biology, the related term "neoteny" (or juvenilization) means the retention, by adults in a species, of traits previously seen only in juveniles.

Wag Your Tail
Yeah can I have a big bimbo box meal hold the bimbo sauce
two super sized freaky fries and a make me shiver shake
(I know who this isâ¦how you doing?)
I'm doing good sweetheart how are you?
(I'm O.K. anyway drive around to the 2nd window please)
Baby remember how you were as a child Everything was up and nothing down
Every day was hopes and dreams no fears Whatever happened to those years?
Let's Rent a Private Jet and Escape
Fly To Paris Walk on Champs-Elysées
Let's Live Your Dreams
Wag Your Tail for Me
I Cannot Read Your Mind
When You're happy Baby Show Me a Sign
Just Let Me See
You Wag Your Tail for Me
Baby don't depend on what you see
Everything's perception not reality
Life has thrown some curves but we'll throw them back
Straighten out what's wrong and get back on track
I called your boss on the telephone
And said my babies flying off to Rome
Let Wendy take the register
And let Cindy sweep the floors and
Let Joe and dem close the store
my baby needs a dream and I'm taking her
wherever seems to make her happy!
Baby baby you can live your dreams
Let's not settle for anything
You deserve the best of things
Honey child let's go ride in the car
And we'll fly as far as our minds can conceive
Let's rent a private jet and escape
Fly To Paris walk on Champs-Elysées
Let's live your dreams
Wag your tail for me
I cannot read your mind
When you're happy baby show me a sign
Just let me see
you wag your tail for me
If you're happy show me a sign
Wag your tail for me
Reality is meant to defy
wag your tail for me
baby darlin you are so alive
