• I think I've seen this get deleted in the past, but delete for the above reasons anyway. Anilocra - (hi!) 10:26, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Unfortunately, all-too-commonly used, but nothing more than a dicdef. Soundguy99 13:06, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. It is in common usage, however it is simply a derogatory dic-def. --Scimitar 14:51, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Merge with nigger. Common use, may be a dicdef, but it's a dicdef in the context of a notably controversial term. -- BD2412 ^talk 15:40, 2005 Jun 13 (UTC)
  • Note - I've added a line in the section of that article that discusses combinations of the N word with other words. -- BD2412 ^talk 21:28, 2005 Jun 13 (UTC)
• Merge with nigger (by which I mean redirect). - DavidWBrooks 18:24, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Merge and redirect. JamesBurns 06:48, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect. Unfortunately I've heard this term more than enough times already. --Unfocused 15:53, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC).
• Delete dicdef. Dystopos 14:57, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete But for what it's worth, I know people (even those who aren't racists) use this term. ral315 19:10, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect, but to Jury rig (it's a synonym of "Jerry-rig") rather than nigger. It is also worth noting that the word is most commonly used by African-Americans. --FuriousFreddy 00:54, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
