orgin of saing geting down to nitty gritty is a slavers term for rappig female slaves keep at bottom of boat?

Answer 1

NO!

The Orgin of the term "Nitty Gritty" is similar, but has NOTHING to do with rape.

"It has been reported that this term is a derogatory reference to the English slave trade of the 18th century. The suggestion is that it originated as a term for the unimportant debris left at the bottom of ships after the slaves had been removed and that the meaning of the term was extended to include the slaves themselves. That report became widely known following newspaper reports of an 'equality and diversity' course for Bristol Council employees in 2005. Had the firm that was conducting the training known that their claims were to reach so wide a public they may have chosen to choose their words more carefully."

Answer 2

Just to be clearer from the previous answer (from the same link):
"There is no evidence to support the suggestion that nitty-gritty has any connection with slavery. It did originate in the USA as an African-American expression, but that's as near as it gets to slavery. It isn't even recorded in print until the 1930s, long after slave ships had disappeared, and those references make no mention of slavery. The training company that is said to have made the suggestion has made no comment and it is clear they have no evidence to support the allegation."

In other words, the expression likely has nothing to do with slavery in any shape or form.
