So I'm Retiring "Lame"

By Wendy

I referred to Tenet as lame. I certainly didn't mean offense to anyone. But I've been reading about ableist language, and I realize that I should no more use "lame" in this way than I should use "gay" as in "that's so gay." (Though I do call things "gay," but I'm allowed to because I'm gay and you can't, nah nah nah NAH nah.)

Anyway, I'll miss "lame" in this sort of usage, but there are many other options.
