I know what word means. I was only making a joke. Besides, I live in the DC area where a public official was forced to resign after using that word in a public statement. The resignation came as a result of media and community uproar after they interpreted his comment as racist due to their own ignorance. Sheesh. You leave out a note about sarcasm and a smiley and people jump all over you.
