English Usage - Challenged - English editing.

The use with a preceding adverb, e.g. physically challenged, was originally intended to give a more positive tone than terms such as disabled or handicapped. It arose in the US in the 1980s and quickly spread to the UK and elsewhere. Despite the originally serious intention the term rapidly became stalled by uses whose intention was to make fun of the attempts at euphemism and whose tone was usually clearly ironic: mocking examples include cerebrally challenged, conversationally challenged, and follicularly challenged.
