In a book about slave songs, she found terms from the chant: "chicka," "rat trap," "bulligator" and a reference to slaves hoeing potatoes.

They found that in a book? Burn it!!! Destroy anything with words we don't like. get rid of the chant, and then destroy all printed materials people could see those words in... < /sarcasm here, but reality on liberal boards >

She also determined that the words "Higger, Bigger," could be viewed as a mask for the original terms.

Oh well, if they could be viewed as a "mask" then we should ban them, of course.

Anything that rhymes with "digger" should be banned from the English language.

I propose we eliminate the following words from the english language:

Bigger, Cigger, Digger, Figger, Gigger, Higger, Jigger, Kigger, Ligger, Migger, Pigger, Quigger, Rigger, Sigger, Tigger, Vigger, Wigger, Xigger, Yigger, Zigger.

Because they are just wayyy too close to sounding like "Nigger."

There a lot of other words we can eliminate stop being so niggardly with your ideas of words to be eliminated.
