I see your point now. Boy, am I red with embarassment!
You didn't mean "lame", as in:
lame 1 (lm)
adj. lam·er, lam·est
1. Disabled so that movement, especially walking, is difficult or impossible: Lame from the accident, he walked with a cane. A lame wing kept the bird from flying.
2. Marked by pain or rigidness: a lame back.
3. Weak and ineffectual; unsatisfactory: a lame attempt to apologize; lame excuses for not arriving on time.
You meant "LAME", as in:
la·mé (l-m)
n.
A brocaded fabric woven with metallic threads, often of gold or silver.
[French, spangled, laminated, lamé, from Old French lame, thin metal plate.]
I am so glad we understand each other!
