Spaz

The recent controversy about Tiger Wood's use of the word "spaz" has been interesting to me. I have always loved the word spaz. For one thing, most words with the letter z are cool. For another, it transports me back to the early days of my youth -- the 80s. Happy times, simple times, crazy times. Alas, I didn't know that, since its popularity in the 80s, it has become a word of disrepute. As a good liberal, I suppose I must surrender.

Hadn't heard about Tiger's use of the word. But, Bryan, even in the 80s the word 'spaz' referred to acting like a spastic person. It never was an innocuous word. It was always 'nocuous' :) I crack me up.
