Poll: Do you find the word Niggardly offensive

[Darein]

It sound like it is bad, and a lot of people will probably take it to be bad, but the definition doesn't make it out to be bad. It seems to have been around a long time as well.

Remember, it's only racist if a white guy says it

 

[Mean MrMustard]

Anyone, and I mean anyone who thinks "niggardly" is obviously uneducated. If you are educated, your a complete idiot.

 

[Atrail]

I would never gauge someone's intelligence by their knowledge of the meaning of one word, but hey, that's probably just me.

Yeah, really. It's also only racist if you're a B. God, I hate Bs.

Why are you so intolerant toward Bs?

[SuperSix]

You have to be a REAL idiot to be offended by that word..

 

[eplebnista]

No

 

[GasX]

If you are offended by the word niggardly you are either:

1. Ignorant

2. A hyper-sensitive F-tard.

Take your pick...


edit:

3. or both

F-tard. I like that. I'll have to start using that. Just putting an F before it makes it so much more offensive. Not sure why.

No, because it is not an offensive word. It's usually thought of in that context because the listener doesn't have a clue of what it means, only assumes it has to do something with race.

Exactly.

No.

Someone already said repost, but, here's the link.

In archives, so, don't think it can be bumped.

Anyway, no.

 

[poopaskoopa]

It's offensive because some people are too fricking lazy to open up a dictionary.

 

[Buzzman151]

Whatever morons find this offensive need to be beated w/ ONE BIG STICK for being such an ignorant fool that is probably racist himself

Bwahaha!!! Yet another way to use the F word without actually saying it... I rub that...
For some reason bastich never really caught on as a unisex term

It's someone saying you're "yellow"... hardly anyone ever says it anymore, if you're asian and you're offended by that on the basis of race rather than meaning... well...

see Mwilding's post.

No, I'm only offended by the people that are offended by it due to ignorance.
