    Gimp is a slur for people with physical disabilities in the UK at least

      It’s kinda a slur in the US in the sense that people claim it’s a slur, but I’ve never heard anyone actually use it that way.

      Same in Canada and the US. If someone calls you a gimp, it’s a derogatory term that belittles your physical abilities.
