(UK, slang, derogatory, offensive) A person with cerebral palsy.

You spilt beer on your shirt, you spack!
Origin: a contraction of spastic (as a term of abuse). Origin information sourced from Wiktionary contributors (CC BY-SA 4.0).
For parents

Spack means: A person with cerebral palsy.. It is informal slang, fine in casual speech but not suited to formal contexts. It is generally derogatory or offensive; worth a quiet word about how it lands on the person being described. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.

For ESL learners

spack means: A person with cerebral palsy.. Register: very informal, often derogatory or vulgar. Avoid in formal, business, academic, or polite writing. Even in casual speech the word can offend and is best left out of a learner's active vocabulary. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself.
