Lol.
I was living in D.C. at the time of the niggardly incident , and I’m still pissed.
(edit: pissed, of course, at the completely ridiculous reaction to the word which has a completely different etymological origin than “nigger.”)
I was once, at about age 8, reciting aloud from a book of children-appropriate limericks. I was just talking to hear myself talk, not reciting in front of a crowd, just my mom. I don’t remember the whole limerick, just the first 2 lines :
There once was a man from Niger
Who (something something) a tiger
I guess I was unclear on the rules of spelling, so I pronounced the word wrong. My Mom knew I was simply mistake, but was mortified nonetheless…
Joe
Am i the first to note that “niggardly” does not contain “nigger”? 
When you’re a Call of Cthulhu fan, you have to be careful who’s around when you start talking about Shub-Niggurath…
At work, we have a filter for movie titles to try to block miscategorized porn titles (ecommerce site, deep catalog products are set up by an automated feed). It works by matching on key words that might indicate the title is porn: cock, pussy, etc.
It took us a while to figure out where all the Alfred Hitchcock movies went.
Tigger can.
I called my mom’s (at the time) boss’s African American husband a “reneger” once years ago. We were playing chess and he reneged on a move and I teased him about it. A bit later my mom came in and asked who was winning and I said “The reneger” not realizing what it would sound like. Never has an apology been so quick or so panickedly babbled.
“Negro”, if you’re speaking Spanish, maybe?
and Brazil nuts are… :eek:
I have a friend who’s first name is Neggar, so it’s best not to shout after her, in case anybody thinks they’re being denigrated.
n----- toes.
I remember a candy shapped like chocolate babies only out of black liquorice and called (insert word here) babies.
I love those! You can still buy 'em under the name Licorice Babies.
Niger, please!
I heard this, but it sounds UL-ish. Niger Seed is spelled Nyjer Seed on seed packets at places like Home Depot.
Then again, this may be true
Well faggots can be quite tasty (Eve, back me up here).
The word ‘niggerhead’ has numerous meaning, including: a type of chewing tobacco, a large rock, buried w/ only a small portion showing above ground, an isolated coral hesd, a mtn. in so. Calif., et.al.
Is this a NJ thing? I live in NJ, but I’m not from NJ. An ex-friend who grew up in NJ told me about “n- babies.” I was appalled. She is an intelligent, thoughtful, compassionate individual, but I got the distinct impression she resented having a piece of her childhood innocence being cast in an ugly light. When she said to me, “You out-niggered me,” I knew our long-time friendship was nearly at an end. R.I.P.
