in finding small boys in spiderman outfits with that head hood thingy just creepy and gimpy

[mrsjohnsimnelcake]

Very unpleasant if you ask me

dd has cp and have never heard of the word gimp.......................

I am shocked that the word gimo has such connotations!
Little boys like dressing up in weird things

Ds 4 yo has been wearing his today. His head is too large for the mask but we squeeze his little face into it - he insists I'm sure he'll be fine when he's older. I prefer him wearing Spiderman to Ballet dancer complete with pink tutu with net skirt, especially as he was out the fron with me while I was weeding

2shoes, I had a friend years ago who had CP and she said that she and some of her friends who also had the condition had been called that name as children. This was years ago though, that girl would be about 40 now.

never knew that.

I never heard it either... I think the little boys dressed as Spiderman would be thrilled to be 'creepy' though.
