1.) An excitable, hyper, or jittery person.
2.) To act in a wild manner.
As defined by white disabled activists from the UK on twitter:
1.) An ableist slur short for "spastic" or "spasticity"; which directly refers to Spastic Diplegia, and anyone (preferably those with power and followers) who uses the term in any context outside of medical science must apologize and be ashamed for having used it.

United States: This kid I'm babysitting is such a spaz. He gets one piece of candy in him and he's bouncing off the walls.
United Kingdom: Even though we call "fags" cigarettes in the UK (and no one has cancelled all of Britain yet), when Beyonce and Lizzo used the word "spaz" in a jovial context, we fought on social media to bring worldwide attention to the NEGATIVE connotation.
Also UK: "Spaz" has historically been a part of African American English Vernacular, but any disabled people of color from the US disagreeing with us will be a.) ignored in the conversation on Twitter, or B.) be accused of "reverse racism".

Spaz‚ short for Franchi SPAS-12 is a combat shotgun designed and manufactured by the Italian firearms company Franchi from 1979 to 2000. It is known for its distinctive appearance and dual-mode operation, allowing the user to switch between semi-automatic and pump-action firing modes. This feature made it versatile for both military/law enforcement use and situations where less-lethal ammunition (like rubber bullets) might be used, which typically don't cycle semi-automatic actions reliably.
