That's perfectly good use of the English language.
However, it does give me a rather tangential idea. "Liberal guilt cruises", in which white people pay to experience the entire slave transportation experience. Chained up and packed into the hull of the ship, and given niggardly portions of food and water.

This has comedic possibilities but I don't see it as a viable commercial endeavour

This only works if you're dull enough to think the word "Niggardly" has any relation to the racial epithet "nigger".

But isn't it right that they should think that?
After all, the uneducated are so steeped in bigotry that they can't open their mouths without saying something offensive. They should really be taught to stay silent and know their place.

Oh I see!!
Thanks for clearing that up. All this time there is me thinking the faux pas was my assumption that the staff had all read Chaucer up at Balliol instead of course having had to make do with a lesser education at some dreadful pinko outfit like Homerton. Now of course with the benefit of the world wide web I realise that all the litigation and resignations was due on some large part to them all thinking


Thanks to you "Spleep" for clearing that up, I can't begin to tell you how such a fool I feel right now and what an utter rotter I must have sounded like back then. What must they have all thought of me?

The word "niggardly" only entered the language in the Elizabethan era and the epithet "nigger" only appeared in the 18th century so I'm not sure having read Chaucer would be any advantage here.
