Literature, speech and political correctness
    #14159599 - 03/21/11 02:36 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

Due to the recent flap over Mark Twain's use of the word 'nigger' in 'Huck Finn', other words and phrases must be eliminated so that no one is ever offended.

On the hit list:

Honky Tonk

"It's a little nippy outside."

You got gyped!

And, of course, Hispanics will no longer be able to say, "How are joo, today?"

However, 'motherfucker' or 'muthuhfuckuh' will remain unmolested as an American staple.

Also, Kraft foods has announced that they will be renaming 'ritz crackers' as 'middle-class mulatto crisps.'

If they ever censor those words in books, I'm never reading again! :mad:

I am aware of the common meanings - and also that it could be offensive to those of Nipponese descent.

And to those who have nipples. :boobs:

Not as much as you hope. :lol:

Interesting titbit, *ahem* tidbit on the side:

The word "niggard"

Quote:

You might look in a better fargin' dictionary. Sure, the origin of "niggard" is unclear, but not its timeline, which predates the N-word in the English language by a couple hundred years at least. "Niggard" comes up as early as Chaucer, late 14th century. The most commonly speculated origin is Scandanavian [sic] nig/Old Norse hnoggr, meaning miserly. Don't know how much faith you want to put in Indo-European roots, but one meaning of the root ken- is conjectured to relate a family of words with a connotation implying closing, tightening, or pinching (the family of related words is hypothesized to include such n-words as nap, nibble, nod, nosh, neap, nip). The racial slur "nigger," on the other hand, doesn't enter the lexicon until the 1500's, first as "neger" or "neeger," obviously from the same root as the French negre and Spanish negro, words for the color black, which are derived from the Latin niger.
