I say niggling on an almost weekly basis because it is a word and I have never equated it to an offensive remark because why would you. Its niggling; a real word. Diglet must have caused you some real problems in Pokémon.

It feels so good to be so bad.....at posting.

Niggly stems from a Scandinavian word, so has Germanic language roots. The N word is derived from the Latin word for black. They're not even related in the slightest.

This item shall no longer be referred to as a 'kite' due to an unfortunate incident where the term was misheard by some of our community members and multiple complaints were lodged. We were going to go with Aerial Performance Unit until it was pointed out that the acronym makes an unfortunate reference to the Simpsons Controversy. Taking applications for an alternative designation now.

Niggly sounds too much like the racist N word I guess, If you are really reaching for something to be outraged about

looking for something to be outraged about is this threads entire life.

Good. Potato scallops are what you get in a container which include sour cream and other lovely fattening stuff.

Yeah. Southern is just as repulsive as Cottrell, except he looks like a thug and she doesn’t, and the mainstream have never heard of her so the outrage was smaller.

Also I got this update from the clinical college - the APS (psychology professional group) has been after these kinds of things for years

https://www.sbs.com.au/news/struggling-farmers-get-mental-health-boost

Also there's been talk of trialing 30 free sessions for things like personality disorders somewhere but I can't be assed looing for it at the moment, it just came up in the last APS branch meeting
