Well, the lameness is always in the context of a particular zone.
I think the Wikipedia definition is spot on.

The server itself isn't necessarily "lame" unless you qualify
with a zone.  Therefore I think it's more appropriate to talk
about a "lame delegation" than a "lame server", because the
former implies the context of a particular zone, while the latter
does not.

Just my $0.02.
