This is why dictionaries list more than 1 definition and you shouldn't stop at the first one:

  1. weak; inadequate; unsatisfactory; clumsy.

a lame excuse.

  1. Slang: Sometimes Disparaging and Offensive. awkward, dull, stupid, or uninteresting.
  1. Slang: Sometimes Disparaging and Offensive. out of touch with modern fads or trends; unsophisticated.
