Should one-legged people take as much offense when something is referred to as “That’s so lame” as homosexuals often do when “That’s so gay” is used?

I don’t use either term, unless it really applies (and especially not “retarded”, a fave when I was a kid). The closest I usually come is to use the slang “weak”.

Oh, I take that back. I also use queer in the proper context. (Odd / non-standard) That whole “4 hurricanes in a month” thing was mighty queer.
