Easy to find out. I'm sure there is a manifest of all passengers on board. Track them down and find out what was said. If she used the "n" word then the company should pay, but from what it sounds like she said "tiger".
I've never heard that the rhyme comes from slave days. I doubt these Plaintiffs did either till they talked to a lawyer.

She didn't say either one. These crazy women heard her say "Eenie, meenie, minie, moe; pick a seat, we gotta go," and it REMINDED them of the racist version they'd heard somewhere, and they ASSUMED it was directed at them, and they ASSUMED other passengers' giggles were directed at them. And now they want to get PAID for all this stuff that happened entirely inside their own heads!

Just the use of the rhyme, or any part of it, is supposedly offensive.

What about the 1st Amendment? It would be a stupid thing for anyone to say, but the courts shouldn't be involved even if they did use the n word. But in this case, she didn't even use the offensive word.
