 * I could only find one. I suspect there may be more out there, but they are masked by all the adjectival uses. Kiwima (talk) 07:42, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
 * There's also at least one usage on Usenet, in a capitalized form: . 70.172.194.25 07:52, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
 * @Kiwima Isn't the one you added a mention rather than actual use? —Svārtava [t•c•u•r] 08:06, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
 * It’s the author’s choice to make it look like a mention. The punctuation used is not a reliable indicator of that. ·~   dictátor · mundꟾ  17:07, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I can see where you might consider it mention-y, but it still is used to convey meaning - the one boy is saying that what he is speaking is the "language" niggerish. Kiwima (talk) 19:02, 4 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Discussed this with Svartava on Discord. Putting it in quote marks doesn't make it a mention, since it still serves its function in the sentence to refer to the thing. That's not like saying "blah means such-and-such". Equinox ◑ 20:44, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
