cripplings
n. (plural of crippling English)
Usage examples of "cripplings".
Most deaths or cripplings in training were from hunting accidents: a neck or head broken by a low branch, a horse failing to clear a blowdown, even a jaguar brought to bay and charging.
Too, sometimes men who desire to own slaves but are themselves too weak to do so, or, because of rigidities of cripplings, are psychologically incapable of doing so, will, out of envy, jealousy and spite, fight to free them, in order to deny others the pleasures which they, because of their handicaps and inhibitions, cannot grant to themselves.
