Have been for years. Every time I'm decried as a racist. It's great fun at parties.

Another good one is niggling. Definition: small, inconsequential.
I have this niggling problem with a rattle in my dash.

There was a politician who used this word a few years back and he was forced to resign. Don't remember who

Still miss my grandma using niggerish. Used as both a verb and an adverb. Always cracked me up when she'd say "That's just niggerish."

It means miserly. What are some real world examples where I can call someone miserly?

Niggardly means stingy, for instance: someone who never leaves tips at restaurants.
