Since I live near Finksburg and not too far from Scaggsville I am perhps desensitized to such points of political correctness. But I do remember from half a century ago a group of hotrodders who proudly called themselves the Kreeping Krips of Kaiser-Kabat. Kaiser was a hospital system and these particular hotrodders built and modified their cars from their wheelchairs. There was an organization in the headquarters of Social Security called the Public Inquiries Group. Someone objected to the initials so they proposed changing their name to Public Inquiries Sub Section. Bottom line, I thought the name "Gimp" a bit lame when I first heard it but now it falls trippingly from my tongue. - John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.
