Same here. Gotta have been 30+ years. I would bet serious money that few people under 50 could define it.

I wonder if she even knew what the word meant? It is not used much anymore, from what I gather. Kristi Marie Capel (born July 7, 1983). She's like, twelve years old. That word went out of fashion before she was born.

She was born in 1983. That word went out at the end of the 1970s.

I myself am very tired of jiggaboo music like The Sound of Music.

Im a non-native speaker, and I have NO idea what it means. I didnt 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?Can't do that. I can give you a list of acceptable words, though.
It follows here:

We had black housekeepers when I was a kid, and everyone the blacks included had thicker skin 50 years back.
Lots of things we said to each other that today would be considered hate speech, I guess. When our parents were gone out we cussed each other out, literally.
Housekeepers hated us. Pretty funny.

A few years ago my mother’s girlfriend used the term “this friggen thing...” to describe something she couldn’t get to work. Unfortunately she was saying this at a church event. She had no idea it was inappropriate to use the word friggin. She had no idea. She found out quickly.

Lol. That’s why I’m forever telling my children,”never use a word that you don’t fully understand.”

If you take a pre-1960 dictionary, that will give you a great start on the offensive word list. Just begin with “A” and stop right after “Zymurgy.”

Well, the chink in the armor on that list is it needs updating on a constant basis, as the words used today will offend someone, somewhere tomorrow. Our local high school (Pekin, Illinois) sports teams were known as the "Pekin Chinks" until 1981 when the P.C. crowd made them change it. It is now the unimaginative "Pekin Dragons".

Actually, you were right. It does mean jerk, but a really obnoxious jerk.
To: JewishRighter
Well I understood that part, but evidently it also was a slur name for a Jew. Had no idea and I was raised in a community with many Jews.

That is such good advice. Another girlfriend, at a basketball game, hollered out and I’m embarrassed to even type this, she hollered out “come on pecker” to one of the basketball players. That was his nickname but she had no idea that maybe she shouldn’t holler his name out.
In the olden days many girls had no idea about these words. Now they’re sending nekkid selfies. The world has changed.
Good grief, in the olden days I was once told that if there was a problem then t.s. I had no idea what t.s. was so I asked. I was told t.s. meant tough shoveling. I believed that for many years. It was a total surprise to find out that t.s meant something else.

Also, I used to know a guy that knew a perjoratve word for anyone you could think of. We were sittin’ around with a guy I used to work with that was half Portuguese and half Eskimo. The older guy looked at him and called him a “blubber-snubber.” I ‘bout fell out of my chair.

As young as she it, she probably never heard the word used in a racial context and thought it was a cool sounding word. The younger generation has a very different vocabulary. My daughter was livid when I referred to her as a “real hustler,” meaning she really work her butt off and gets things done ... she took it quite another way.
