Interesting how what is deemed acceptable in language changes.

He claimed when challenged that a "nigger" was a insect and that anyone who took offence at the phrase was misinformed. He would use the phrase to wind people up. Not that he was an idiot or racist in anyway, oh no, God forbid. Of course I NEVER ever heard him using it in the company of any black folk. Presumably, because the explanation of the insect reference would be cut short by a smack in the chops. My ex-boss used to use this phrase repeatedly.

It's seemingly only appropriate in rap videos and Channel 4 (but only some programmes), and not in the boardroom..evidently. It is a rather strange saying, not one I've heard before. Anywho, if your interested in the whole N-WORD debate when it's reversed... http://sleepingeyes.blogspot.com/2007/06/tokenracism-post.html Hmmm…so many double standards surrounding that word.

Apparently this individual thinks he is being clever by disrespecting those who are "different" than he. What a pathetic little man. How crude and uncivilized.

It is so easy to feel superior to them, it instantaneously revives self-confidence. I love these people who can’t give a speech, however unimportant, without having to bash at some kind of minority.

So the expression has come to mean that there is some important fact that has been missed. If your dopey colleague is using it as an insult then he's obviously a f*cking dimwit as well as politically incorrect. I did once without thinking tell a black colleague of mine to play the white man fortunately he took this in the spirit it was meant offering the opinion he might find this a tad difficult.

AS this was not summat that Mrs Massa would admit to in ye olde days, twas said that there must have been a nigger in the woodpile, as said nigger would need to hide before unleashing his load of love on the white wimmin with a cry of "I'll shoot jizzle from ma pizzle in your snizzle fo shizzle." It's a shocking phrase and I, for one, am totally disgusted. Up here, we wouldn't dream of using it, being modern thinking folkd. We much prefer the expression "a touch of the tar brush" when referring to such people. Which is much nicer, dontcha think.
