What association is it you object to? > gimp > /gĭmp/ > **noun** > 1. A narrow flat braid or rounded cord of fabric used for trimming. > 2. Spirit; _pep_. > 3. A limp or a limping gait. > 4. A person who limps. > 5. A narrow ornamental fabric of silk, woolen, or cotton, often with a metallic wire, or sometimes a coarse cord, running through it; -- used as trimming for dresses, furniture, etc. > **intransitive verb** > 1. To walk with a limp. > **transitive verb** > 1.To notch; to indent; to jag. > **adjective** > 1. Smart; spruce; trim; nice. > 2. Neat; trim; delicate; slender; handsome; spruce; elegant. Granted, the fourth definition, as a limping person, could be mildly disabilist but I think it's just a case of an old English word becoming two words in different regions (Limp / Gimp).
