I remember years ago at school we used to call each other Joey's after seeing a programme about a Disabled man named Joey Deacon, in fact this man is somewhat remarkable.

It's a North American thing ... not necessarily an insult ... used to describe any kid of the "playing on the rug (carpet) age."

I think spaz is a horrible word. It means spastic, though I'm sure nobody here means it that way, and it's one of the reasons the Spastic Society changed its name to Scope. I would never call anyone by that name, even in fun, having a 14 year old great niece who, though highly intelligent and very pretty, has what used to be called a "spastic" arm.

Hehehe.. That brings back memories. Spanner is not a new one it has been recycled. I remember using it in the 80's..
