I've also not heard anyone use the term gimp in the way you indicate in

I think you're blowing this way out of proportion.
Disagree. I just heard it used yesterday. It's a fairly common word. You NOT
hearing it is not as important if others are hearing it. Granted, I think
it's far too late to change the name for lots of reasons, but let's not try
and talk ourselves into believing that it was a good name choice or that it
doesn't have serious derogatory context to most English-speakers who
graduated from the fifth grade.
