I Did Not Know That

Tiger Woods got criticized and has apologized for using the word "spaz" (Kevin Drum posts on it here).

I thought my knowledge was deep on derogatory words. Jeebus ... I don't use the word "gyped" because I'm aware that it's derogatory to Gypsies. But I never knew the word "spaz" was deemed derogatory by many in the disabled community.

My guess would be most don't know ... so the PC police need to cut Tiger some slack and good for him for issuing an apology as well.
