I remember druff saying something like 'if you don't know what that word means, that is on you'
I was like well 'use that word next time you are in front of a black guy and tell him that,' I'd love to see how that works out.
To Druff's credit, he is more intelligent than this teacher, who thought it was a racial slur.
“Niggardly” means reluctance to give or spend, according to Dictionary.com. It can also mean miserly."
"That’s not what Quinlisk explained to his class, according to WROC. He told them “niggard” is related to the racial slur, and he allegedly said the n-word multiple times during the discussion."
