Search Results: guy slang

I'm referring to the word N*gga. N*gger is inherently a demeaning word because of how it was initially used. But n*gga has evolved into a friendly greeting. Common substitutions are: friend/bro/guy/person.

However, n*gga is a versatile word. It is used in good contexts and bad. Because n*gga is so close to n*gger, intent can never be clear for people that truly are racist and just use that as a substitution for n*gger. Personally, I think since African Americans use it so much in everyday slang that it's adopted a new meaning, but can easily get confused and misinterpreted if the wrong person says it. So I feel people should either stop saying it all together or not get offended when people say it in a casual way like its commonly used nowadays.
