Why in the world would you even want to use that word?

sorry for breaking my promise but isn't avoiding such word in internets (you can't see if the guy is white or black or what) a bit ridiculous? I have rap cd's that has a lot of "nigging" and no-one seems to care about it. It's almost like it would be a cool thing to say....

e: sorry. just got flashback that I've seen the word before. I first niggardly thought that the word was referring to racial expression but it wasn't.

I'm sorry, but isn't using a racial slur on a forum relating to a series of internet tablets made by Nokia as a way to sound cool even more ridiculous?

It isn't a racial slur. It means to be stingy. You know, a tight wad. A niggard is a miser. In my opinion it perfectly apt in describing Nokia's nature, especially in regards to the n900. Where the hell is our Jurassic Roller Coaster? Tight wads! Give!

*sigh*

Niggard and Niggardly actually have nothing at all to do with racial slurs or anything of the sort.

Look at his reference. His statements about it being used, rather erroneously, in music has absolutely nothing to do with the aforesaid miserly synonym.

His verbiage denotes the slur and not a proper usage of the word.
