I'm 40, and I have never heard the original version. Is the original common knowledge and I was somehow left out of the loop?

More'n likely. I'm 55 and first heard it with the "n" word, then I heard it revised to "tigger" (a justifiable reference to the pooh bear character), and then finally changed to "tiger" to avoid even rhyming with the "N" word.

Sheesh, These people would be real happy to learn the first definition I learned for the acronym NAACP.
