Let’s Stop Using the Word Lame?

 https://www.tolerance.org/magazine/lets-stop-using-the-word-lame

I feel empowered by self-deprecating humor, which is the context in which I use the word lame.  I don't go around calling anyone anything that I'm not prepared to call myself. The power of words change. I think Laura Wendorff is giving this word a lot more power than it has. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think we can still practice inclusion without treating every word with an objectionable history as off-limits.
