I think this is a bit counter productive. I'd much rather that kids associated these words with toys than with insulting people. If a child is put off by a toy because it's called slag, then frankly you've been raising your child wrong for them to know the slang meaning of the word. if you want rid of the negative connotations of a word, you have to replace them with other things. I'd much rather kids thought of spastic as the cool name of their robot toy than as a word to use to upset that kid no-one likes.
