Apparently "gay" & "retarded" are horribly offensive & insensitive descriptors, but "lame" is ok. Who knew?

- MiguelHudnandez 14y agoI suggest it's because it's not commonly used today for its actual definition. People don't normally refer to themselves or people they love as "lame." Not so for "gay" or "retarded." A modern equivalent of "lame" might be "handicapped," even though it is not as specific.
