Lame ducksThese names refer to well-known Disney characters (ducks) who have become lame through injury to their legs (lame).
This expression refers to a person, people, or things that aren't properly able to function, especially those who were previously proficient. It usually refers to politicians in their final term of office. It is also sometimes used to describe office-holders who have lost an election but have not yet left office.
