gimp

Uneven walking gait

A gimp is a braided trimming or cord used in upholstery and dressmaking, often covering seams or adding decorative edges.

Separately, gimp is offensive slang for a person with a limp or physical disability, and by extension anyone perceived as weak or incompetent: Don't be such a gimp.

In BDSM contexts, a gimp is someone who wears a full-body suit, often leather, typically in a submissive role.

As a verb, to gimp is to limp or hobble. (Capitalized GIMP is image-editing software.)
