Why the N bomb?

I wasn't aware it was a "bomb." I had thought it the name of a character in a classic work of American literature.

Can I still say niggardly, or is that on the taboo list as well?

no, as that word has a different meaning. In fact, it isnt even in the same ballpark of what you said.

Main Entry: nig·gard·ly
Pronunciation: -lE
Function: adjective
1 : grudgingly mean about spending or granting : BEGRUDGING
2 : provided in meanly limited supply


saying someone dropped an N bomb is an expression. Kind of like saying the F word and referring to it as an F bomb.
