All the above answers are more or less right but ‘spazz’ is not just a noun it is also a verb!
Although the derivation of the word itself is pretty revolting and definitely derogatory (from spastic), the noun can be used both in an offensive way and an affectionate way. On the one hand, it can be used as a put down when calling another person a stupid idiotic fool but also between friends, when one acts a bit silly.
The verb, to spaz (or to be spazzed out!) means lapsing into a state of sleepy/day-dreamy stupor. For example, “Sitting here, in this hot sunshine, is really spazzing me out!”

Not an acceptable term in my opinion.
spaz or spazz (slang)
One who is considered clumsy or inept.
[Origin: 1960–65; shortening and alter. of spastic]

“Shallow” basically means that you judge people on their appearance rather than their personality and feelings. Example: Bob: “I’m only friends with her because she’s hot.” John: “You’re so shallow.”

It’s the slang use of the word “spastic” which means “affected by involuntary jerky muscular contractions; resembling a spasm; “convulsive motions”; “his body made a spasmodic jerk”; “spastic movements””

it was originally spelled spas, short for spastic. The connotations are of a clumsy person.
