cripple
cripple verb 1 the accident crippled her: disable, paralyze, immobilize, make lame, incapacitate, handicap, leave someone a paraplegic /quadriplegic. 2 the company had been crippled by the recession: devastate, ruin, destroy, wipe out; paralyze, hamstring, bring to a standstill, put out of action, sideline, put out of business, bankrupt, break, bring someone to their knees.
crippled
crippled adjective crippled soldiers: disabled, paralyzed, incapacitated, physically handicapped, lame, immobilized, bedridden, in a wheelchair, paraplegic, quadriplegic; euphemistic physically challenged. WORD NOTE crippled To studiously and unerringly substitute disabled or challenged for crippled seems to me to have less to do with the fact that the word itself is demeaning than with a desire to signify our awareness that the disabled have rights, and deserve not only sympathy but respect. Which is entirely laudable and correct. And yet there are instances when crippled seems more accurate and less jarring. To say that someone is hindered by a disabled or challenged hand sounds simply peculiar. And to write that a person was crippled in an accident sounds worse than saying he was disabled —and indeed it is worse. Excising the word from the language signifies a reluctance to face up to the damage that our fragile bodies can sustain, and the harshness of the random fates that befall us every day. — FP Conversational, opinionated, and idiomatic, these Word Notes are an opportunity to see a working writer's perspective on a particular word or usage.
