What is another word for peg leg?
Pronunciation: [pˈɛɡ lˈɛɡ] (IPA) 
Peg leg is a colloquial term used to describe a person who has lost a leg and uses a prosthetic replacement. However, there are many other words that can be used to describe this condition. For example, amputee, one-legged, disabled, prosthetic wearer, and mobility-challenged. If the prosthetic is actually shaped like a peg, it can also be referred to as a wooden or pirate leg. While some of these words may be more commonly used in medical contexts, all are valid synonyms for peg leg and can be used to show respect and empathy towards those who experience difficulties with mobility.
