Talk:n-word

I'm not sure that this is ever used in the second sense, at least not in the US, where the first sense is charged enough that it would be poor form to make a joke of it.

Not that poor form ever stopped anyone.

Nonetheless, it might be worth hunting for attestations in this case -dmh 17:31, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)

There are no citations for the n-word standing for "The word ."

FWIW, The discussion page also mentions citations needed for this sense since 2004. This sense is also found on the disambiguation page on WP (which states: "Nazi – euphemism for reference to Nazism as broad, political slur by analogy with F-word"), though not on the  article itself.

Sorry all I can do is point this out, but my real-life limitations are acting up so I probably have to leave this to you. Thanks, --Geekdiva (talk) 17:51, 3 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Found a few potential Google Books hits of different spellings. I'm sure it is attestable from Groups, though. – Einstein2 (talk) 18:53, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
