an unsuccessful person or thing
Politics:
-An elected official whose power is reduced because the person who will replace them has already been elected
-A person who still has time to serve in an elected position despite not being elected again in a recent election, with the result that the person has no real power.
-Examples-
---Finally, highly fractionalised parties in government enervated the authority of the executive and rendered prime ministers vulnerable to the problem of the lame duck.
---Therefore, in a perfect election, during the sitting president's lame duck period, the president-elect usually signals only obliquely that there will be a ritual burial of the predecessor.
Business:
-An unsuccessful person, thing, or organization:
-A person in a position of authority in a company or organization whose power is reduced because their time in the job is about to end:

Get the Y’all lame mug.
Another name for Bob chapeks latest money grab called a lightning lane. Bob Chapek renamed the fastpass lane to this after he renamed annual pass to magic key. He thinks I will pay 20 dollars so I can ride Matterhorn once only to wait in standby for a second time because I can’t have more than one per ride. And how am I supposed to ride midway mania? Wait in standby after I used my one fastpass I paid for? Chapek stop smoking pixie dust.

Get the Lame mug.Someone familiar with writing javascript, htmls, code, and likes to spy electronically. These folks often feel that their sense of the world is better than others, justifying their need to spy. Often than not, they are lazy pukes, ignoring their own problems to examine others.
