[COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Times New Roman"]Today we take a closer look at the bastardization of the English language and the lovely words that it has spawned that sound dirty, racist, unacceptable socially etc, but in fact are harmless.

Your job is to find one, give a few synonyms, a definition, use it in a complete sentence, and then have a good laugh at your cleverness.

I pick [b]niggardly[/b].

Def: grudging: petty or reluctant in giving or spending; "a niggardly tip"
Syn: Stingy, miserly.

"Seeing her sadness he felt like the most [b]niggardly[/b] coward alive, having denied her access to his own feelings.[/FONT][/COLOR]
