Dyspraxia
Dyspraxia comes from two Greek words: 'dys' (meaning abnormal) and 'praxis' (meaning doing). It is also known as Developmental Co-ordination Disorder (DCD). However, this term can be misleading, for although dyspraxia's defining symptoms are excessive clumsiness and problems with balance, the condition can also impact on short-term memory, personal organisation, attention span, mathematical ability, and social skills. There is often an overlap with other specific learning difficulties, such as dyslexia and dyscalculia; and with autistic spectrum disorders, such as Asperger's syndrome. Dyspraxic people typically have average or above average IQ scores, just like everybody else; their raw intelligence is not affected by the disability.
While dyspraxia causes significant difficulties for sufferers, it also has its positive aspects - many people with dyspraxia have extremely strong language skills, which accounts for the high number of famous authors who are now thought to have had dyspraxia. These include Emily Bronte and G.K. Chesterton. Modern-day celebrities who are dyspraxic include Richard Branson (owner of the 'Virgin' empire) and David Bailey (photographer).

Similar to burn, harshed upon moded, diss but way more brutal. Like "haa haa" said by Nelson from The Simpsons but way more malicious. Said in conjunction with the "facemask" signal used by NFL referees when calling a facemask foul. Debate still ongoing whether doing the facemask signal is technically "facing" yourself and one should actually direct the facemask gesture toward the one you are "facing." Synonomous with face.
Darren thanked Chris for his lame Redwings loosening up the Oilers so his team could kick their ass in the play-offs and added "facialllllllll" with a thrusting facemask meneuver.
Zach was trying trick Luis into falling into a tiger trap when he tripped and fell into the trap himself. Luis happened upon the bloddy scene and uttered "oh, facial disgracial."

Your a disgrace. To the race.
I think originally applied to the Asian race by the Asian American founders of the web site. Seems to have spilled over to others that have betrayed their social and ethnic roots.

Dyspraxia
A developmental disorder characterized by excessive clumsiness and difficulty with certain activities, such as brushing one's teeth, tying one's shoes, riding a bike, and even exercising. People with dyspraxia are sometimes incapable of driving, and may have difficulty taking care of themselves. However, they are often highly intelligent, which can unfortunately make dyspraxia even worse; this is because they are aware that what they are doing is easy to a "normal" person, so they become frustrated that they cannot do it, and believe they are stupid. The aforementioned issue of taking care of themselves can also make them more prone to health issues.
People with dyspraxia often have shorter lifespans, especially if they have other disorders as well. However, it is possible for a dyspraxic to still lead normal lives; for example, Daniel Radcliffe and Richard Branson are dyspraxic.
