    I don’t have enough confidence that random people in my vicinity at any point in time will know the word to ever, ever use it. The possibility of someone taking it as the n-word it kinda sounds like is just too damn high.

    I’ll tell you what: I wanted to post something rather long that warranted using the N.word (etymology is one of the rare occasions when it’s okay to spell it out) but Piefed’s stupid PC filter not only blocked my post, but plain disappeared it.

    Well fuck this shit.

      That may be the case re: etymology, but this is social media, not a professional journal. You could’ve easily not spelled it out and gotten your point across fine im sure.
