I’m a non-native speaker, and I have NO idea what it means. I didn’t even know it was offensive. I like that combination of consonants and vowels (ji-ga-boo) the same way I like words like dingaling and bupkis. Is there somewhere I can get a list of terms and the minority that is likely to be offended by them?

Do you know the slang meaning of the word "dingaling?" Answer

Well, the chink in the armor on that list is it needs updating on a constant basis, as the words used today will offend someone, somewhere tomorrow.

For your future reference, “Kickapoo joy juic” is most likely also verboten.

Can't do that. I can give you a list of acceptable words, though.

It follows here:

You could watch all of Spike Lee's movies. School Daze comes to mind.

Also, I used to know a guy that knew a perjoratve word for anyone you could think of. We were sittin’ around with a guy I used to work with that was half Portuguese and half Eskimo. The older guy looked at him and called him a “blubber-snubber.” I ‘bout fell out of my chair.
