If you have 4 901s and a pen on the way, and only vape 45 minutes a day...yes, I would say you are set (for the time being anyway!)

Yer good...

But you'll buy more...

Nothing sends me into panic-purchase mode like the thought of catastrophic failure and nicotine deprivation...

Thanks, now I have to go place an order myself...

As a "spaz" I find this post offensive.


Funny, but offensive.

Definitions of Spaz on the Web:
Spaz is a relatively new game played using only a pool table and two pool balls. The origin of Spaz is unknown, but is thought to have originated ...

That was really the first hit I got trying to understand your slang

it goes back to being physically handicapped.. a slang term of the old word which is no longer used.. paraplegic is the new word i dont think there is a slang term for that..

"spaz" just means.. dork.. thicko.. or incompetent.. in the PC world we now live in it might be considered offensive by some.. not by all thow..

Spaz is short for spastic

Spastic- an offensive term meaning lacking physical coordination or the ability to perform competently

Ever see revenge of the nerds?
They have both a spaz and a poindexter, if you ever were wondering what the difference was

I look at spaz as akin to "getting carried away" about something. When I was a kid, I had an aunt who used to say "Don't get so spastic!" whenever we got overly enthused about something. She was such a biotch anyway

From wikipedia:

The current connotations of the word are well-illustrated by a BBC survey in 2003, which found that "spastic" was the second most offensive term in the UK relating to disability (...... was deemed most offensive) [2]. In 2007, Lynne Murphy, a linguist at the University of Sussex, described the term as being "one of the most taboo insults to a British ear".[1]

I definitely cringe when I hear it being used, even in its appropriate, clinical sense. The charity "Spastic Society" changed its name about 10 years ago due to the taboo that formed around the word.
