How in hell is the term "lame" offensive and/or out-dated? It seems a very
forgettable adjective to me...Paul. do you get offended by everything, or are
you just
running out of things to talk about? Or is this another case of the English
not
getting common American slang.?....We certainly hear enough chortles from our
U.K. counterparts when someone here doesn't know ...uh,...."full stop"...for
instance.
