> (but why did they think the Gimp character was called that in Pulp Fiction? Pleading ignorance here... When I saw Pulp Fiction as a teenager, and they refer to the BDSM guy as "the gimp", I thought that's what they called that outfit. I feel like it was a not-uncommon understanding in the US (even if an erroneous one)... All my friends and I at school referred the the character Voldo from Soul Calibur as "that creepy guy in the gimp suit": https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/ssb-tourney/images/f/fb/Voldo_CG_Art.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130717185552 https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/ssb-tourney/images/f/fb... We didn't mean it in the sense that he was crippled (he's actually quite agile), we meant it in the sense that he was wearing tight leather with bindings and zippers.
