It's not ridiculous if you live in the UK. 'Spaz' and 'Spastic' where common playground taunts when I was a kid in the 80s. The word became such a common insult that the Spastic Society had to change it's name (to what I can't remember).
It's extremely offensive to disabled people and is not acceptable language in the UK.
