I think what might be happening is that there are people who actually don't know what the word means. They see others using it and gather from the context that it means "energy", and so they start using it too, not realizing that it specifically means "the limited energy of a person with disabilities".

Incidentally, walgesang and I have a problem where our actual, literal spoons keep disappearing. Like, we look in the drawer in the kitchen, and a particular spoon that should be there is gone. If we were characters in a novel, this symbolism would be way, way too on the nose. :P
