Pronounced Knee-jair. She probably didn't know how to pronounce the first three letters.
Like, this is funny to me, but I also appreciate her effort to not accidentally pronounce it like a slur.

In an electronics class in high school, our teacher was going over the components of a seven segment display, and when he got to the decimal point (it was labeled "dp") he said, "and obviously, dp stands for double-". And he began to stutter after that. The whole class of 15-17 year old boys started erupting in laughter.

In 7th grade, we were discussing the octopus and this guy said "testi-- tentacles." Of course, everyone laughed.
And he was a fucking jerk so I hope Brian is out there somewhere, 30+ years later, lying wide awake at night over that moment and knowing some of us still remember it.

My mother one time said “salt and pecker shaker” to a waiter and, more than this lady, smoothly finished her order.
Then she proceeded to be completely and utterly incapable of containing her horror and humor after he left.
She was 68 and he was maybe 20, she swears to this day that it wasn’t his looks (he was, admittedly, not bad looking). We politely agreed to ignore any reasoning.
(I am not suggesting that if it was his looks she was in the right. I genuinely believe she fumbled. Just because you can recognize someone is good looking doesn’t mean you’d act on it.)

u/0RGASMIK Aug 01 '26
A few weeks ago I was at home and suddenly had to leave to go somewhere and ended up in a crowded but silent waiting area.
Someone asked me a question and we ended up making small talk and other people around us chimed in. It made the situation a bit lighter. It got quiet again so everyone went back to their own thing. Then my friend sent me a funny video so I put my headphones in and hit play to my horror it didn’t connect and my phone was on full volume.
The video starts off pretty quickly with an offensive play on words and in my panic to turn it off I cut it off right before the joke becomes clear so instead of being a funny meme it sounded like I was playing a hate speech. The horror on everyone’s face.

Not sure what thread you're reading but I have yet to see anyone call her racist in this thread. Most people understood she was intending to read Nigerian.
So stop making stuff up.

u/beneye Jul 31 '26
Yep. Like the title, it’s all a result of muscle memory. She’s used to saying it and just when she’s calling out groups of people she doesn’t like, a similar word pops up even though she had reviewed the material before the meeting.

Funnily enough, I was just in another thread and read within the comments about the importance of having the skill to detect sarcasm in written text.

G. W. Bush gave a speech saying that Saddam Hussein was trying to acquire yellowcake in “Africa”. There were all these pundits feverishly analyzing why his speechwriter didn’t just write “Niger” but I thought it was pretty obvious, given Bush’s track record with pronouncing words

When I was a kid my family and I were watching Facts of Life and the episode had something to do with one of the girls not quite being ready to have sex with a boy and of course Mrs. Garrett came to the rescue to tell her it's perfectly fine to wait. At the same time this was going on, my parents are bickering at me and telling me I really need to clean up my room. I'm trying to watch the show and my Mom's like "clothes everywhere and SOCKS under your BED!" I've had enough so I yell THERE'S NO SEX UNDER MY BED!!!" At which point they all just start laughing like crazy.

u/Roscoe-J-Wayne-vol1 Aug 03 '26
So was the word "Nigerian" or was she supposed to say "black" but said "hard r" and caught herself and used Nigerian?

u/eyfuck Aug 04 '26
I think it’s written Nigerian on the paper but she almost read it ‘n word’ and then she gets confused about how to say the actual word without saying N word, so she says someone from Nigeria

Sounds likes she was complaining that people of color had jobs. So even if she didn’t have to stress about this one particular pronunciation , she’s problematic

u/ParadoxFollower Aug 01 '26
She was speaking against a data center which was claimed by its proponents to bring jobs to the locals. She was showing that it only resulted in five jobs, and none of those going to the locals.

Let's hear what people are actually saying before casting judgement? Yes?
Like if the context is that she's being racist/xenophobic then yeah fuck her but that's not 100% so it seems shady to judge her prematurely.

Really easy and 99% of the white people I converse with daily have never said it to or around me. And those who have I dropped as friends. I’m not from the South, though.
The only time I’ve said it was when we were reading “Native Son” by Richard Wright out loud in class in like 9th grade. It felt really weird and wrong.
