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:
-Examples-
---This is regarded by many as a lame-duck initiative that has failed to deliver its promises.

this is someone who don't interact with people at all not good or a nerd , dork or geek of that nature but friendless and can be fat and sloppy too. can be male or female. they don't work. don't do nothing but smoke weed or get drink or get high and masturbate to porn or nerf stuff all day long. they tend to try and play video games but not really good at it. so make fun of everyone who does the stuff they can't do . just to throw people off that they can't do it. and even clothes they can't afford. or shoes or sneakers. and bling or jewelry. or nice hair styles. or contact lenses over glasses. lots of stuff like this. most people don't even see them. they order stuff online. masturbating is when you make your self orgasm by your self when normally you and your partner do it for each other at the same time. to save precious time. and make it that much better in pleasure.
a social lame is worst than a outcast but a social lame probably lied on them to make them one anyway.

lamers usually link not to the website but only to the content/download. therefore a content provider will have the impact of traffic but not the advantage of receiving page views/ad clicks.
This was especially frowned up in the 90s when traffic was expensive and led to download pre-pages and up to the kind of file share storage providers you still see to day.

content provider: dude, if you lame link my stuff, no one will click on the ads on my page and I have to take it all down eventually.
lamer: but I don't have anything original except that "great" link collection.
content provider: stop lame linking! ( had to include that line, because stemming would be too hard (◔_◔))

A word used to describe something that is either equal parts lame and amazing, or is so lame it is amazing.
