EN: harelipped, cleft-lipped
This is a somewhat old-fashioned and now considered insensitive term for someone with a cleft lip. You'd hear this more from older generations in the province. Nowadays, people prefer more clinical or respectful terms. Using this word today might get you some side-eye; it's like using an outdated medical term that has become a slur.
This term is considered dated and potentially offensive. 'May cleft lip' is the more neutral and modern way to say it.
