challenged

   differing from the norm in a taboo fashion

   Not faced with a duel, but of those thought to be facing life at a disadvantage. The use extends to the bald, who are follicularly challenged; to the deaf, who are aurally challenged; to the blind, who are visually challenged (and not by 'Halt! Who goes there?'); to the mentally ill, who are cerebrally challenged; to those of low intelligence who are developmentally or intellectually challenged; to a dwarf, who is vertically challenged; to a lame person, who is physically challenged; to a crook, who is ethically challenged (a phrase used on 18 June 1996 by the chairman of the committee investigating inter alia Hillary Clinton's deals in Arkansas); and so on.

    Here are Barry Pearson (right) and Tim Lyle, the follically-challenged duo who run the corporate management boutique. (Daily Telegraph, 1 November 1997)

   There was also the matter of the not inconsiderable number of intellectually challenged members of the Nazi party. (Burleigh, 2000, writing of compulsory sterilization programmes)

   There are also figurative uses. Thus to be parentally challenged is to be a nasty person, or bastard:

    They are mostly feckless, ill-informed and otherwise unemployable people. One or two are parentally challenged. {Daily Telegraph, 19 November 1993, quoting Howard Davies, who, as the Director of the Confederation of British Industry, was castigating journalists) etc.
