Lame ?

What significance does this term have? superman 04:15, 5 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The only similiar mention of this meaning that I could find is this dictonary entry:

Claud. A male given name: from a Roman family name meaning "lame."

Other than that, I'm assuming this article is more about a non-notable slang that most of us have never heard of or use. The article does look like a candidate for deletion, unless there are real evidence that they have been widely used i.e. forum threads, conversations. ╫ 25 ^ring-a-ding 12:26, 15 December 2005 (UTC) ╫[reply]

Well, since Urban Dictionary failed to identify Claude as a modern slang for "lame", this article will be turned into a disambiguation page instead. ╫ 25 ^ring-a-ding 13:22, 15 December 2005 (UTC) ╫[reply]

deriving from "claudicatio" meaning "strong willed"

"Claudius" doesn't mean strong-willed:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claudius_(disambiguation) gives the meaning of "Claudius" as crippled, not strong-willed
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Claudius#Latin gives the meaning of "Claudius" as crippled, not strong-willed
https://www.online-latin-dictionary.com/latin-english-dictionary.php?parola=claudius gives the meaning of "Claudius" as lame, not strong-willed

Even "claudicatio" doesn't mean strong-willed:

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/claudicatio gives the meaning of "claudicatio" not as strong-willed, but as limping
https://www.online-latin-dictionary.com/latin-english-dictionary.php?parola=claudicatio gives the meaning of "claudicatio" not as strong-willed, but as limping or lameness

I have no access to the source used by this article (Schork - Latin and Roman Culture in Joyce), but a book described as a "review of the role of Latin in Joyce's life and the pervasive contribution of Roman literature and culture to each of his works"^[1] doesn't seem like it's a fantastic source for the meaning of the word "Claude" in the first place.

Accordingly, I removed the claim. If you have access to source and can enlighten us what is written on page 70, please do so. Until then, I consider this a highly dubious claim, and believe it should not stand. Cheers! --Lommes (talk) 10:50, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
