I kinda did too. I wondered where she even heard it before.

My father uses it, but then he’s going to be 85 years old in May. Plus, he only uses it in private conversation with me, certainly not in front of a microphone.
My guess is the anchor has had or does now have an older black boyfriend who she has heard use that while in the company of other blacks. So she listened, and she learned what to say, but not when to say it.

I’m a non-native speaker, and I have NO idea what it means. I didn’t even know it was offensive. I like that combination of consonants and vowels (ji-ga-boo) the same way I like words like dingaling and bupkis. Is there somewhere I can get a list of terms and the minority that is likely to be offended by them?

30 years ago, I went to a record store. A young black man came in wearing a shirt that said “jigaboo” on the front, and “spearchucker” on the back..We were both looking at Jazz records. I finally couldn’t contain myself! I started laughing, and asked him where he’d gotten the shirt. He started laughing too. We talked, and I found he was studying Mechanical Engineering at Case, as my Father had. Nice young man!

I deeply regret my insensitive comment. I didn't know the meaning and would never intentionally use hurtful language. I sincerely apologize

Lord, I have not heard that term in years. American slang can be so descriptive.

LOL! The black co-anchor sitting there with her knew what it meant.

She most likely meant to say “Lady Gaga was gettin’ jiggy with it”.

That’s Wayne Dawson.
He’s been around a long time, I remember him from when I lived there and it’s been 33 yrs since I moved away.

I like words like dingaling and bupkis.

Do you know the slang meaning of the word "dingaling?" Answer
