Maybe it is, but it certainly serves as an apt description. I know exactly what they are trying to say when they describe a part of the game as "spazzy". Can come up with an adjective as clear and concise as that?

Some people are like slinkys...

They aren?t really good for anything, but you can't help but laugh when one tumbles down the stairs.

Actually, "Spazz" is a fairly common term used in my home... Yes, locally too.

Spazz mostly means "To freak out" but I guess, erratic or weird are similar too.

yeah, I've always known "spazz" to mean person who is eccentric, erratic and freaks out a lot. To "spazz out" means to freak out.

Maybe it's not distasteful to say it IMO, but leaves it unlclear to some ppl.

I tried sniffing coke, but the ice cubes kept getting stuck in my nose.

according to wiki, it's one of those words that have different meanings, depending on what side of the atlantic you're from.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spastic sort of explains my inital misgivings.
