(in lacemaking) coarser thread which forms the outline of the design in some techniques. fishing line made of silk bound with wire. The last three I got from the internet.Gimp is a slur for people with physical disabilities in the UK at leastIt'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.Ok, now the name is actually weird."Eww, like the coarser thread which forms the outline of the design in some lacemaking techniques!? That is just a bit gross don't you think?"
