| | I love this word, so I thought I'd share it with all of you.
'Niggling' refers to being petty--especially when arguing about things. For instance, arguing about how long someone took to get ready to leave the house would fall into this catagory. As well as most other squables between siblings, or people flaming eachother on the internet. |

I'm not quite sure what you mean. The word has absolutely no racist connotations. The only way it could possibly be construed as offencive is that it i mostly used to tell someone that you think their argument is petty or superficial. Perhaphs you are thinking of a different word (though i am unaware of an similar ones that would envoke racial connotations)? I think you may be confused about what this word actually means (though i just posted the deffination). Please elaborate.

The definition by Princeton University lexicon project http://wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=nigglingThe word is actually defined but it may resemble the taboo word.

I think its a british word maybe thats why, never really heard that in the states though, I'm not saying it's racist im just saying that a portion of that word could be mistaken for the taboo that buffalo mentioned.

To be quite frank, I believe it is some form of the word "*BLEEP*rdly" which means to be miserly of petty.

Yea I also haven't heard this word in the states which probably why when I first saw it I felt the reaction of Saint_Michael. I don't like using new words anyway. Why use big words and words out of ordinary language when all you have to say is arguing. Simple word everyone knows lol.

I have to say that expanding one's horizons comes in more that one way. Expanding your vocabulary is definately a good thing. I actually amaze myself sometimes when I pop out with a word that I learned ages ago that I forgot I even knew. I also find vocabulary extremely useful in writing and when discussing interesting topics here on Trap17. I find it wonderful to learn new words. Its going to be fun to use this one on my friends and family when they are doing this. Its also great to see a fabulous discussion about it. If any of you has a chance you should take a linguistics class. Its very vacinating how words are formed and where they come from.

Heh, I like using larger words because of the subtle neuances that they convey. For instance, if you say a girl (or guy, if that's your orientation) is "hot" that's quite different than saying that they're "cute" or "beautiful." All of those words have the same basic meaning--attractive--but they convey subtlties far beyond that basic meaning. I don't know...maybe it's just me. But i feel that the more words I know, the more expressive I can be while speaking or writting.

Whenever I've heard the word it's been in a racist manner (however jokingly). It does mean something quite different however if you look it up in an official dictionary (oxford, dictionary.com). But it also has a racist connotation (ala urban dictionary).

If you actually read the word it clearly has a totally diffrent meaning than the Taboo word. Even with the words controversary "remove the ling and add er"....... Not a racial preference.... it only will be until the last 4 letters are removed.

Text Editors Vs Word Processors
(1) There are many differences between text editor and a word processor. One of those differences is
that most text editors are universal in editing any text based documents, while word processors can
only edit certain types of files like Open Office. So, because of that universal editing more text
editors are very basic and so they carry few commands, such as copy and paste and being able to save
the document. While word processors have hundreds of commands and come with many other features
such as templates, thesaurus, spell checker etc etc. So with all those features....

The Great Gatsby And The American Dream
Warning, Long Read and Essay (4) F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby is much like an onion. On the surface there is the hard outer
layer, but to really understand it, one has to dig into the fresh insides. On the surface of The
Great Gatsby Fitzgerald portrays a romantic love between a man and a woman, but inside the real
meaning is much deeper. Fitzgerald depicts the 1920’s as a time of decay social and moral values,
evidence of this is the greed and the pursuit of pleasure. Jay Gatsby’s constant parties epitomized
the corruption of the American Dream as the desire for money and worldly pleasures ov....

How To Make A Decent Forum
Some great tips on how to make and maintain a good forum (8) -Firstly, come on, use a decent forum system. Visitors to forums hate advertisements. The best way
to guarantee no ads is to host it yourself. There’s loads of free web hosts out there- there’s loads
of free forum software, too. So, come on! It doesn’t take much energy to find a good host and
upload some files. I think the two best forum softwares to use are SMF(www.simplemachines.org) and
phpBB(www.phpbb.com). -Secondly, if anybody is actually reading the topic with the link to your

The Great Global Warming Swindle
scientific evidence proves global warming is a scam (11) It has long since been a popular opinion that we are the cause of recent global increases in

unemployment would rise quite a lot if it were proven wrong. Here's why it is wrong: Recent
