what does the word n i gg er mean?

Question

my friend called me n i gge r one time and i asked him what it means and he said it mens you and i said does it mean smart and he said yes and i said thankyou

Answer 1

usually a black person but its slang and derogatory-version of *****

Answer 2

1: a black person — usually taken to be offensive
2: a member of any dark-skinned race — usually taken to be offensive
3: a member of a socially disadvantaged class of persons (it's time for somebody to lead all of America's ******* ..... all the people who feel left out of the political process — Ron Dellums)

usage in senses 1 and 2 can be found in the works of such writers of the past as Joseph Conrad, Mark Twain, and Charles Dickens, but it now ranks as perhaps the most offensive and inflammatory racial slur in English. Its use by and among blacks is not always intended or taken as offensive, but, except in sense 3, it is otherwise a word expressive of racial hatred and bigotry.

Answer 3

Ni gg er is the slang word for *****, and it is usually is meant in disrespect to a person, but you can never tell anymore. Like, for instance a guy at my work told me to call him a ni gg er, and I wouldn't because it is meant in disrespect to that person.

Ps: I hope is what you were looking for.

Answer 4

It is one of the absolute worst things you can call someone. It is a very insulting word to call black people and I know plenty of guys who'll beat someone down for using that word carelessly. Your friend needs to put a lid on that.

Answer 5

No, it's a deragatory term for black people. When there was still slavery, the owner of the slaves often called them ''filthy n i g g e r s" You should not say it because it is a very unkind term.

Answer 6

shannon i think you are probably young, never ever say that ever!!! its probably the worst thing to call someone its a bad word for a black person, and if you say it you will probably get a beating, so for your safety dont ever repeat it and forget that it is a word, and no it doesnt mean youre smart, its the opposite, good luck
