Anyone who takes offense to 'misuse' of the word is being pedantic.

"What do you mean, 'it's lame'?! I happen to be paraplegic! You're very rude "

Jam it back in, in the dark.

A better example would be:

"What do you mean, 'it's paraplegic'?! I happen to be paraplegic. You're very rude "

See how that's actually rude? Because paraplegics don't call themselves "lame"? And because gay people do call themselves "gay"?
ITT massively faulty logic.

"That's gay" = offensive to homosexuals
A sensible homosexual witnesses somebody using "gay" in a derogatory context, and is secure in the knowledge that the user isn't slagging off actual homosexuals.

"That's lame" = offensive to cripples
Exactly the same thing. They're both words that, in this day and age, mean multiple things.

knk summed it up more aptly.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
