Noun

spastic (plural spastics)

  1. (now offensive, especially in UK) A person affected by spastic paralysis or spastic cerebral palsy.
  2. (slang, derogatory, offensive especially in UK) A stupid, clumsy person.

Usage notes

The offensiveness of spastic and spaz differs considerably between the US and the UK. In the United States, the terms are usually inoffensive outside of the disability community; in the UK, they are broadly offensive and typically taken as denigrating references to those with cerebral palsy. Consequently, University of Sussex linguist Lynne Murphy has described spastic as "one of the most taboo insults to a British ear", and in a 2003 survey by the BBC it was voted the second-most offensive word relating to disability (after retard).
