re: #345 Honorary Yooper

Interesting word, “niggle”. Just looked it up as I’ve not run across it much. Apparently it comes from Norse and means “A minor complaint or problem” as a noun, and “To trifle with; to deceive; to mock”, “To dwell too much on minor points”, and “To fidget, fiddle, be restless” as a verb.

Has absolutely nothing to do with race or racist terms.

I am well aware of the meaning of the word. However, being used in this context it was intended as a flirtation with a disgusting word that should never be used and served to discredit the people on this site.

It wasn’t funny and it was in extremely poor taste.
