Gimp?

[shelleb4]

Can anyone tell me what a gimp is? I was talking to someone on line who labelled themself a gimp, but got rather offended when i asked what that was? But i genuinely dont know and he thought i was taking the piss and wouldnt explain.
So?

There are a couple of ways i have heard this word used. One is by my children, refering to a type of thread that they use in weaving key chains and such. This is also called lanyard.

The other way i've heard it used, was in a derogatory manner...

Quite welcome, but you've heard both of the guessed at references at least once, i'm quite sure.

"Someone handicapped" - walk by a playground.

"a leather-clad sex slave" - Everyone forget a movie called "Pulp Fiction?"

I have yet to watch a lot of movies that contain so many references and allusions and Pulp Fiction is one of them.

The evolution of these slang terms is kind of fascinating. I'd always heard "gimp" used to describe a cripple or as a verb for limping.

Consider "Jam". Could be a sweet fruity goo you put on toast (or your partner...) or a bunch of musicians improvising together, or a bunch of motorcyclists cruising down the road together. When my kid was in grade school, he was out on the porch one day playing tunes on the boom box with a couple of friends.
"whatcha doing?"
"Just jamming."

Tons of this sort of thing.

Im going with the 'Leather clad sex slave' as in Pulp Fiction.

But as this particular gimp, left spitting his dummy with the over the shoulder closure "and i earned my title, and as your not in the market, i dont see we have anything to discuss" perhaps a tad on the brat side too. Having his very own hormone rush lol.

Sounds like you needed to introduce him to Mr. Strap-on ... http://www.1st-vets.org/forum/images/smiles/icon_twisted.gif
