Growing up in New York State , U. S. A. , a version of " spaz/retarded/fag " , etc. , was " Bocie “…I'm sure that it came from BOCES , the acronym for N. Y. State's " special " education department ( Um…Something Something Something Educational Services . ) . My version of it is , of course , phoenetic , and , may well be subject to variations !!!!!!!!! I do not know if NYS's equivalent department goes by that name now , this is some decades agone … While I guess that this site is more British-oriented , the whole English-speaking world is your oyster , correct ??????? And , I'll assume that you're familiar with the American " spaz/retard " , etc. , referred to above…
