Limp-wristed is a slang term that appeared in early–mid 20th-century English to describe an effeminate man. The term comes from the literal image of a weak or floppy wrist, metaphorically applied to men perceived as lacking traditional masculine strength, firmness, or vigor. Historically, it was derogatory, often used to mock or belittle men for appearing delicate, soft, or non-masculine. Today it remains offensive, and using it outside historical or critical discussion is likely to insult or demean.
