An older meaning describes someone or something unable to walk normally because of an leg or foot — this use is now considered old-fashioned and can sound when talking about a person, though it's still common for animals (a lame horse). Much more common today is the slang meaning: , weak, or disappointing — "that excuse is so lame."
(動物)跛腳的;(俚語)遜、爛
組成From Old English lama, describing a leg that will not work properly.
