Hey I’m curious (if it’s appropriate for this forum), what are the meanings? Not familiar with this word

[gundmc]

In the US, "spook" can be a derogatory word for black people. It came about in the 1940's and while not extremely common today, this context is familiar enough that I'd second the suggestion to rethink the name/brand.

TIL. I always took spooks to mean the CIA.

How long should we wait before recycling a term/phrase? There are many words people have never heard today that were common even in the 80s. Which is far more recent than the 40s.

Someone has to be the first to let sleeping dogs lie.

(note, I've _never_ heard spook used for anything other than a spy, and I am old guy)
