Usage notes

 * Referring to a person without a disability as “lame” is offensive to many as it suggests a derogatory characterization of the physical condition from which the term was derived. Disability rights activists consider figurative uses of “lame” in general to be offensive, arguing that such use adds to the social stigma surrounding physical disabilities.
