Thing 7

[figment]

My intended Thing for today didn't work out... so here's my backup. I patched my sweater. Not exciting but it needed to happen.

Well, I'm embarrassed and apologetic, and have changed the offending text.

I realize "I didn't think about it" is not a very good excuse, but I have not used the word "gimpy" to refer to someone's physical ability in such a long time that I had kind of forgotten that meaning.
I'll quote someone from the post you referred me to -

I've had the same "Holy crap, what *can* I say?" reaction as many others, although I hope it was more of an "Oh my God, the cultural bullshit goes deep" and less of a "Wahh, my freedom to make poor word choices!"

Thanks for the link.
