So much easier to appease a few with stupid legislation. As Scotz indicated above, the word niggardly is hardly used any more because it sounds inappropiate. In fact, a reporter a few years ago was fired for using the word correctly. She was fired for using the word appropriately. The word means stingy or not generous, by the way.

How can someone be fired for using the right word even though it sounds offensive.

Are we going to not allow hitters to lay down a bunt?
What about a kick?
Or someone being fussy?
Or opening a lock?

Dumb, dumb, dumb.
