Transformers Name Controversy
http://figuredouthq.blogspot.com/201...ntroversy.html
I've worded the language down and gave nods. Am I right in guessing the name of this upcoming figure is also offensive stateside? ===HERO |

I honestly can't remember the last time I heard someone use the phrase after the 1990's....

Its a pretty offensive word this end of the globe. ===HERO |

Spastic is considered to be the 2nd most offensive word....in the UK. It's a derogetory term for the disabled. In America it's just slang for somebody who's clumsy.

Heh, you said spastic.
Seriously, I haven't heard that in years. Then I was watching 'In Bruges' the other day and it was used a coupla times. Then I just saw it here! I guess the word of choice nowadays is 'retard'. Over my way, it was never spaz, or spastic, it was always spuzzy. Just sayin'.
