Please forgive my ignorance (as I am not a native English speaker), I
am very curious about the meaning of the word "spakka", which bod and
some other people here use so frequently. None of the dictionaries I
have at hand are of any help (I guess it is not a dictionary word
after all). This word is so incredibly funny-looking to me, I can't
get it out of my head. Could somebody please break its meaning to me?

Thank you

I believe it to be 1970s northern British slang for "spastic", m'lud.

Depends on the dictionary.

As someone who's also not a native speaker, I found that link very
useful on more than one occasion...

Ya, I, also, had no idea what that meant.
