You can't use the word "niggard" or "niggardly" in public discourse anymore, simply because it triggers ignorant morons. Some leftists will object to the word "maggot" as well because of similarity to the f-slur.
What are the implications of political correctness for the English language? Will the language itself permanently change?

Don't bother faggot, you won't understand.
Evan Sanders
Let's just say I got banned for calling people faggots and started calling them maggots instead, which was met with objections and ultimately another ban.
>Will the language itself permanently change? Maybe in someway similar to "old english". Where some will talk one way until the other way is just more common.
This is why "wiggers" or anyone who grows up or with "black culture" seem to clearly act as if their vocabulary is limited.
I recently found out spanish doesn't have certain words and sound extremely "caveman" like when using actual direct translations. I've been wondering how other languages sound when directly translated.
Andrew Wood
is it sicilly that uses italian with arabic grammar? or yiddish as german with slavic grammar?
Jeremiah Morris
Maybe you could rank languages by the amount of vocabulary they have
William King
There are different forms of Yiddish with Eastern being more common now, or so wikipedia says. Am German and to me Yiddish is easily one of the most comprehensible Germanic languages, especially compared with the Scandi stuff that is just straight-up gobbledy gook. Perhaps the Eastern variant is more difficult?

Nigger is the most powerful word in the entire world. It is magic that holds an immense, awesome and frightening destructive power. Uttered under the right circumstances, its destructive force can be harnessed to put entire cities to the flame. Most will not be able to wield it, but will only destroy themselves if they try it - physically or socially, depending on circumstances.
Two syllables. No context needed or asked for, indeed, attempting to provide it may even just enhance its destructive power. Mightier than the sword, no doubt, but not as easily wielded.
Are there any other words with such power?
Colton Miller
Yiddish is a germanic language with hebrew alphabet. Maybe you're mixing up Sicilian with Maltese, which is the only semitic language with latin alphabet.

>similarity to the f-slur. So I was wondering what the status was of a certain offal based dish: >In 2004, a radio commercial for the UK supermarket chain Somerfield, in which a man rejects his wife's suggested dinner saying "I've got nothing against faggots, I just don't fancy them" was found to have breached the Advertising and Sponsorship Code and was banned by the industry regulator Ofcom. In November 2013, it was reported that British Facebook users had been blocked temporarily for using the word, in its culinary sense, on the website. Facebook said that the word had been misinterpreted.
Unironically private property is why free speech is restricted. Ancaps will try to refute this

A while ago I had to clarify that I had used the word "kook" in a discussion - someone else had obviously thought I said "gook".

I concur on the subject of wiggers. I grew up in that environment and the wannabe thug whites are far more anti-white than most black people. If you so much as don't slur your speech those wiggers will call you white and that's a bad thing. They literally can't talk like a normal person. From what I've observed, living around blacks is a net negative. Everyone degenerates around them.
Jack Jackson
Children have natural tendency to assimilate into the group, but if the difference is great (in this case different race) it can lead to fear of being exposed as not truly one of them, which in turn leads to exaggeration.
I've stopped using any words that rhyme with f*g to not offend LGBTQIA++ posters. It's been kind of a dr-- a pain, but that's the price of being equitable.

Kike as a word does not carry power in itself. You could point out, with the utmost tact and respect, that someone is a Jew, and they'll recoil just as much. Impressive digits by the way.

>nigger and niggardly are two completely unrelated words When and where do you think the word 'nigger' comes from?
Uhhh scandi langauges? >"mean or stingy person, miser," late 14c., nigard, nygard, nygart, also with a variant nigoun, nygun (c. 1300), a word of uncertain origin. The suffix suggests French origin (see -ard), but the root word is possibly from earlier nig "stingy" (c. 1300), which is perhaps from a Scandinavian source related to Old Norse *hniggw, related to hnøggr "stingy," from Proto-Germanic *khnauwjaz (source of Swedish njugg "close, careful," German genau "precise, exact"). Perhaps also related to Old English hneaw "stingy, niggardly," which did not survive in Middle English. A noun nig "niggardly person" is attested from c. 1300, but OED considers this unlikely to be the source of the longer word.

I've just got a niggling suspicion that you are right.
P obvious really. I've heard Chinese think of time as flowing right to left or top to down Whereas English people tend to conceive it as if it goes left to right because thats how we read

nigger comes from negro - black, like Montenegro, black mountains. niggard has a different root.

I feel like, somewhere in the essence of Yea Forums is the idea that there is an ‘establishment’ that doesn’t really give a shit about us, that uses us to generate its own profit, and this spurs us to make fun of what they do, to make it harder for them to do what they do, and do what they do, but better, and in a different direction (with regard to controlling people by influencing opinion). If we look at the history of the US, alongside it exists a progression and development of oppression of the establishment against African Americans. All the while, African Americans have done what people here try to do, but they have skipped the pettier of the three activities, and jumped straight to doing what the oppressor does but better, and in doing this, they have accomplished the goals of the pettier activities in a way that can be seen as more noble than what people do here, but there are plenty of LOLz to be had congratulating what has been accomplished, and it seems absolutely absurd that there would be even the slightest bit of racism against African Americans on Yea Forums when the objectives of people on Yea Forums align with the accomplishments of African Americans in the way that they seem to be aligned. We’ll start with golf, the whitest, most establishment, ‘sport’ that could have been dreamt up. They fucking did it, showed the oppressor they weren’t shit, that there is nothing about the oppressor that gave them legitimate authority over the oppressed. The other side of whiteness, skateboarding, they went ahead and reached that whitewashed pinnacle. Took basketball, something that looked, honestly, disturbing when short-shorted whites soullessly chest-passed to a bland metronome of machine-like routines, and showed them, first, that they weren’t shit, and then they transformed the sport into a complete art in which personalities express, passion abounds, and physical feats that would have been on par with biblical miracles in the 50’s occur in every game. Music gives us some pretty funny and amazing examples of a similar phenomenon. The written word was the one of the establishment’s most effective means of controlling people and those people that exhibited excellence in the written word achieved great status in the white society. Now, if Shakespeare were to peek in to modern America, looking for wordsmiths, do you know who he would find? Kanye, Chance, Chester Watson, Deem Spencer, Isaiah Rashad, Kool AD, Earl Sweatshirt, and a list of many other African Americans that would be high on the list of excellence in the lyrical art. Do I even need to mention Jazz? Now, African Americans were oppressed by the establishment so, so much more than any of us basement dwellers, they looked the establishment in the face and said ‘your shit is bullshit’ and did what they did but far better than the oppressor could have done it. How the fuck is there even the slightest bit of racism against African Americans here...

They did Yea Forums ‘high road edition’ and they actually accomplished it in the public eye. If you argue against this, saying ‘what about all the other things in which a person can excel?’ I will say that I don’t know if there is something about excelling in business, finance, law, etc. that indicates excellence as a human being. They have beaten the oppressor in the activities that are most strongly related to soul, in my mind, whereas the other kinds of activities I mentioned here can seem to have an inverse relationship with growth of soul, ingraining subservience, diminishing the soul’s capacity to thrive and express itself through it’s beautiful human harmony. Whites can keep those oligarch-feeding, soulless trades that don’t seem to indicate anything about, or contribute anything to, human excellence as far as the soul is concerned.
