No turkey yet and I am still slow today. I finally looked at the names and not the avitar. I thought for a while that enforcer had caught what richard has. | |

| Funny how niggardly is an adjective. It is one of the few that end in "ly". So taking the rule that to make an adjective from an adverb- add "ly" you would have niggardlyly.
He niggardlyly witheld the money. He is so niggardly. | |

| Hey what the hell I was hoping for an uproar and for people to get upset I would use such a word. Been trying to fit that word in every chance I got today in hopes to get people going then I could whip out a dictionary and make them feel like fools. Only problem is that I am afraid I will be using the word wrong. I actually posted it on this other forum I vist often times and my post was deleted. Yes, I am a trouble maker. | |

Well,, niggardly is like contumely . . . it means something, but there are usually better words suited to normal conversation. "Stingy" is more pithy. I would assume most people here, since they are using they printed word to communicate, have a decent grasp pf the English language and know what the word means. | |

Someone who likes to watch races? Besides, Nigger isn't always an insult. Listen to a few of Tupac's albums for verification. Only niggers, however, can use nigger and be seen as non-prejudicial. Go figure. | |

Nigger is always an insult. Nigga on the other hand is not, so long as it's said by a black person. | |

I have heard other blacks using the word nigger, although the nigga/nigger distinction is a slight one. Either way, niggs in the mouth of a non-black would not likely be taken kindly. I guess its kind of like being called a "geek". it can mean you are social halfwit who never takes his or her eyes away from a computer screen, or it can mean "that guy/gal who always fixes my computer for free". Language is funny. | |

I would consider myself to be a mix of the 2.(geek) | |

| lthough dictionarydotcom seems to place an entirely negative meaning to the word. not mention they pretty much seem to think geek and nerd are one in the same. I happen to disagree. | |

Yes, but in recent times being a "computer geek" has become practically a compliment, certainly not the way it started out, and yes, geek and nerd do have somewhat different connotations. | |

No, you are still a trainee, you have not been taught in full the ways of confusion.
However your latest stunt has indeed gained you a pass at level one, there are still 9 levels to go through.
I welcome your presence on the path to full confusion. | |

Nerds are candy.
Geeks get laid.
Dorks write viruses. | |

Reverse psychology. Take a word and make it your own thereby insulting or defusing the original antagonists use of said word. It has been done before throughout history by other nationalities. | |

How true I have found lots of biggots like that when it is obvious that raises should be set free. I had one that told me to put my chair on blocks instead. |
