Don't be a niggard.

same, is metro

Probably because it sounds so similar to another, far more offensive insult.

All I'm saying is that this isn't xbox Live. We don't need any suspect racism in the PC gaming community.

I'm leaning towards the end of your statement.

Nailed it.

it definitely predates it. maybe he should have said skinflint? I mean rockgiants aren't a real race so. but yeah, hes probably just using it because it looks similar to get attention....

Unless maybe hes just an old timy dude trying to bring back the word because of the deterioration of the english language ect(you never know). Like when Biden brought "malarky" back into mainstream. malarky is too awesome a word to die.

Niggerly hasn't got any business dieing(just because it sounds similar to another word and college level ignorant people were offended in 1999) in a world where we can still be "gypped"(cheated, sorta means conned) or "welsh" on something(weasel out of a bet), which are actually about those groups and should be legitimately offensive. It isn't the same as indian giver or jewing out, the word predates the race. :D
