SPAZ!
I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I feel so unwelcome here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Isn't spaz terribly rude? Am I missing something?

In my head it is referring to Band Candy and Snyder's quote.

I can't even.
It has also become Deathmatch Culture for a superior quote being beaten by an inferior one.
ETA: Due to the demise of the Snyder quote.

Well, in the context of Quotables it means a quote has been robbed of its rightful OTQ status ... got spazzed.

Ah. I was just going with short for "spastic." Which ain't so pretty, sans context (and even then ....)

I really like spaz in the context, but even dictionary.com labels it as "Offensive Slang" (as opposed to just Slang.) So I got to vote against it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
how about more quote context? Like, "Summers still drives like a spaz" or something. Or, more obscurely, "Istanbul got spazzed!"

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
"Istanbul got spazzed!"
I like this.
