I like the term "cripple", myself. It has a good rhythm.
Oh it's a wonderful word, sound-wise, what the c-r beginning, and the p-l-e ending, it's just satisfying all the way around which is probably why it's interred in the language for so long. I'm a stickler (or perhaps just a sucker) for being true to a word's original meaning. Which is why I do like "monster"; it may also have less of a steep negative connotation to overcome (thanks to, at the very least, the genius of Jim Henson).
