I think some politician here got in trouble last year for using the word "niggardly". It was not too long after some other politician used the equally innocuous word "tarbaby". It's funny how some people get upset over words that SEEM to either be bad or have roots that are bad but have no problem using other words that DO have offensive roots like "gyp".
