For anyone wondering, 'spaz' and its longer form 'spastic' is a highly offensive term to refer to someone with a disability in the UK. I did mention this when Lizzo also removed the word from her song.

Then they should ban the word in the UK if it's really that big of a deal, and leave the rest of the world out of this. In the US the word is used to describe someone who's clumsy or dumb btw. Although it's mostly archaic and uncommon these days. You usually hear the word in old 80s and 90s movies/shows.

But anyway, woke Twitter can kiss my ***.

Well it kinda is banned here, it's almost as bad as saying the r-word. I was just saying, the word has a totally different meaning in the US and that's fine. I don't even get offended by song lyrics that easily.
