minus-squareTrackinDaKraken@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·1 month ago gimp /gĭmp/ noun A narrow flat braid or rounded cord of fabric used for trimming. A limp or a limping gait. A person who limps. I suppose the association with limping is a bit unfortunate. Although GIMP is an acronym. The fact that a particular sub-culture has its own slang meaning for the word is irrelevant.
