| Note | This is probably the most explosive and violatile word in the English language, even more so than "mother fucker." It is commonly used by Blacks amongst themselves, as in, "Hey!..little nigga..wazzzup?" However, it is a VERY, VERY strong word when used by any non-black person toward any black person.
