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.

Really? I was completely unaware. /sarcasm

I was mocking your political correctness; I find it a bit strange. The character is referred to as "N-word" Jim. The fact is that the character concept doesn't really work with a white actor.

But of course, since that word is so bloody offensive, we probably should ban and burn all copies of the trashy work under discussion. Then no children will ever be exposed to Twain's evil ever again.
