There's a great comment on there. The boldness is my own...
Speaking as an American, I was shocked to read this article and find that Britons use "spaz" to refer to cerebral palsy. Over here, it's a very mild insult used generally to refer to someone who is uncoordinated or graceless. There's no implication of a physical handicap. What this article really demonstrates is that Europeans once again have failed to appreciate that Americans have their own culture.

Hahahahah, oh you think so, do you?

You might infer from that article that Darrell (USA tm.) has actually just been using an insult for years, without understanding what it means, rather than it being an example of culturally rich Americana.

There was a Supersprint clone a few years back called something like "Joey Deacon's Wheelchair Racing". It wasn't a proper game, just some homebrew thing.
