What does spastic mean?
The term spastic in its original sense refers to spasticity, a condition characterized by involuntary contraction, stiffness or spasming of muscles. In the medical field, it is used to describe certain conditions, like spastic colon or spastic diplegia (a form of cerebral palsy). Colloquially, its usage depends on your part of the world. The use of the word evolved differently in the US and the UK. In the UK, the term spastic came to be used as a synonym for cerebral palsy. However, starting in the 1980's, the term started to be abused as a slur. Today, Brits consider it as offensive as the term "retarded". In the USA, it was never colloquially associated with cerebral palsy. In colloquial American usage, it is not necessarily offensive, and refers to jumpiness and/or over-excitability. This has resulted in many misunderstandings when American media has been broadcast in Britain. For instance, Weird Al's "Word Crimes" contained the verse "you write like a spastic", resulting in massive moral outcry from people who did not understand the American usage. The UK version of a Mario Party game had to be recalled for using the line "turn the train spastic".
