The word "spastic" has been largely erased from popular English usage and is deemed unacceptable to use outside of specific medical contexts, thus reducing stigmatisation of the condition. However, UK schoolchildren allegedly developed a derogatory adaptation of the Spastic Society's new name, "scoper". The current understanding of the word is well-illustrated by a BBC survey in 2003, which found that "spastic" was the second most offensive term in the UK relating to anyone with a disability (retard was deemed most offensive in the US and other countries). In 2007, Lynne Murphy, a linguist at the University of Sussex, described the term as being "one of the most taboo insults to a British ear".

Zofloya subjects the reader to a several-hundred page affair between an upper-class Caucasian woman, Victoria, and a dark-skinned servant, Zofloya, wherein Zofloya assists Victoria with the murder of her husband through the use of poison. As Victoria’s husband slowly withers away from the poison, Victoria develops an all-encompassing sexual attraction to Zofloya. During the era in which Zofloya was first published, this affair represented "perhaps the most taboo of all human sexual desires in Romantic- era England, the passionate, even uncontrollable, sexual desire of a beautiful white woman for the black male body." As is the case with many subjects concerning Zofloya, the word "affair" can only be used loosely, because their relationship technically remains unconsummated.
