"There ... all better now Yankee? ;)"
But wait! We can't have "Slavs"! Yugoslavs, czechoslavs,
Slavik, even Slovenia and coleslaw. Who do we think they are!? "Slav" = "slave". No joke, that's the derivation.

"I get tired of liberals changing the rules as to what words mean and who is allowed to use them."
Right on. It's BNW from the Academic/Entertainment Complex.
I thought it was Terry Kerry who claimed she was African American b/c she was born in Mozambique. And wasn't Clinton our first Black president?

You know it! As my Grandfather descended into mental oblivion he used to bring out some words I'd never heard of. Then again, he also believed he was the only one who could hear fart, too.
2001: Robert Byrd uses the "N word" twice in Interview!
Top Senate Democrat apologizes for slur March 4, 2001
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- West Virginia Sen. Robert Byrd apologized Sunday for a slur he used during a discussion of race relations in a nationally broadcast interview.
In an interview taped Friday for "Fox News Sunday," Byrd, 83, was asked about race relations in the United States.
"They are much, much better than they've ever been in my lifetime," Byrd said, but added that he believed people talk about race too much.
"My old mom told me, 'Robert, you can't go to heaven if you hate anybody.' We practice that. There are white niggers. I've seen a lot of white niggers in my time. I'm going to use that word. We just need to work together to make our country a better country, and I'd just as soon quit talking about it so much."
In apologizing, Byrd -- the Senate's senior Democrat -- said the phrase dated back to his childhood. In the same interview, Byrd also talked about joining the Ku Klux Klan in his youth, describing it as a mistake.
I don't know but when I play on the computer, the Official Scrabble game disallows the word
Even better than that, I used the word "niggardly" meaning cheap and you should have heard my kids,,,,,they didn't believe it was a word.
Hee, hee! How do you say, "LOL" in Bohemish?
A mental cartoon!!!!!!!!!! Precious.
Hee ... hee? ;)
"Even better than that, I used the word "niggardly" meaning cheap and you should have heard my kids,,,,,they didn't believe it was a word."
Your kids we may excuse. But the "grownups" in my ex-office, we cannot! Even when shown the word in a dictionary, they still thought it was a racist slur. This is what happens when people are raised from elementary school through college, to not regard words as actually having meanings. We can't have a shared culture without shared meaning- at least some shared meaning! But maybe that's the goal. Another curse on the NEA.
"You know it! As my Grandfather descended into mental oblivion he used to bring out some words I'd never heard of. Then again, he also believed he was the only one who could hear fart, too."
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! But wait- let's hope none of us has any surgery that requires a certain anaesthetic- makes one say the darnedest things on recovering. I think it's the same stuff they used to call "truth serum". A lovely relative, who never uttered an offensive word, kept up a string of obscenities as she recovered, post-op. It was so shocking, I thought the hospital should have rules on when people could visit.
PS: my husband must be teaching our dog how to fart- he didn't learn it from me.

One need not be fluent in Spanish to know that negro is spanish for black.
