      Removed, not because the word itself is inherently offensive, it’s not. It’s because the people who use it over “begrudgingly”, “stingy”, or “miserly” never do it out of good faith.

      https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/niggardly

      “The words niggard and niggardly are etymologically unrelated to the highly offensive and inflammatory racial slur euphemistically referred to as the N-word, despite the words’ visual and auditory resemblance to it. Because of that resemblance, however, both niggard and niggardly are often taken to be offensive.”

        just to set the record straight…

        I use the word, specifically to point-out that it’s UNrelated to the n-word.

        WHEN we kowtow to disinformation,

        THEN we are accommodating disinformation’s rule.

        Fight it tooth & nail, ever mm of the way.

        Ideological disinformation, national-narcissism disinformation, historical disinformation, linguistic disinformation, Scientism’s disinformation & other pseudoscientific disinformation, ALL of it.

        🆗

        The idea was to use their biggotry against them, but apparently using words as they’re intended is too much now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        After all, they’re witholding their support on a resolution out of spite.

            niggard ≠ n-word, improve your vocabulary.

            Withholding for the sake of meanness; stingy, miserly.

                  Bro wake the fuck up from your lil racist hell-hole. You’re just throwing around insanely racist terms and being like “looooolll just go get a dictionary.” I know what the word meant when your old ass was in grade school, and I also know exactly how 99% of the population takes that word today in 2024.

                  Radlibs strike again, pretending to be super woke and smarterer than all the people who just couldn’t find their racist thesaurus
