Gimp is a usually derogatory term used to refer to a (normally male) sexual submissive person, typically dressed in black leather (or rubber) and wearing a bondage hood or mask of the same material. This apparel emphasises sexuality by drawing attention to the crotch and chest, and also sexually objectifies the wearer. Sadomasochistic practice often features in the notion of the gimp, with a partnership between gimp and dominatrix or dominant.

SPARKLER-lizzie is not right when it comes to pulp fiction the person who is right is Hmm... because he suggested the urban dictionary and everyone who said it was something to do with sex!
1. gimp
(1) a derrogatory term for someone that is disabled or has a medicial problem that results in physical impairment.
(2) An insult implying that someone is incompetent, stupid, etc. Can also be used to imply that the person is uncool or can't/won't do what everyone else is doing.

Film Gimp is a tool for retouching motion pictures frame by frame. A typical application is removing dust marks after film is digitized. Scanning the negative is the first step in post-production, and the scans must be cleaned up to remove dust and scratches. Film Gimp also is used to eliminate wires when actors are being flown in wire rigs.
A movie fundamentally is just a bunch of frames, and that's what Film Gimp operates on. It's different from a video editor that works on one large file. Each frame of a film negative is scanned to become a single image file named with a sequential number. A frame manager in Film Gimp helps the user walk through the images one-by-one. The image retouching itself is about the same as using Gimp, which Film Gimp is based upon. Gimp (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a popular open source alternative to Photoshop.
Movies are normally scanned at 2k wide resolution and 16-bits per pixel component. A significant difference between Gimp and Film Gimp is color depth. Gimp uses 8-bit component (24-bit rgb), and Film Gimp uses 16-bit component (48-bit rgb). Even though you can't display uncompressed 16-bit on a conventional monitor, it becomes apparent if you work in 8-bit and later print back to film. Film has more dynamic range.

I used to hear the expression "a gimp leg..." and so on meaning that someone had a leg that was crippled; hence, a gimp would be a person who is in someway disabled; incapable of doing things that a normal person should be able to do. I don't actually like this explaination: nonetheless that is what I think it means.

Lizzie has the only correct answer. the rest of you are so into sex thats all your little[ probably underaged] minds can think of. A person that limps for a number of reasons is refered to as
"gimpy" or a "gimp".

A gimp is someone who walks with a limp usually because one leg is shorter then the other, sometimes because they have a broken foot or a something wrong with their foot.

A sex slave. Just like in the movie.
The movie is an extreme example but they do exist like that in the world. Otherwise, more commonly, people volunteer to be one for a night at some club or other where people are free to enjoy all mannor of sexual exploits. Those that do usually find it fulfills a fantasy of theirs like those that use them find it pleasurable too.

I always thought a "gimp" was a person who walked w/ a limp or a person who walked awkwardly, but I don't know.
